Biosecurity Innovation Program

Biosecurity protects Australian livelihoods and is vital to strengthening and supporting our environment and economy, including tourism, trade and agriculture. It underpins many aspects of our way of life.

The Biosecurity Innovation Program supports collaboration between industry and government. Now in its fourth year, the program invests in the identification, development and implementation of innovative technologies and approaches to enhance the capacity of our national biosecurity system.

Our biosecurity system is under growing pressure from the number of people, goods and trade coming into Australia, and these numbers are forecast to increase.

Globalisation, complexity of international supply chains and changes to the Australian operating environment including the COVID-19 pandemic are making biosecurity risk management more challenging.

What we are looking for

We are looking for new approaches and technologies that will contribute to a sustainable and effective national Australian biosecurity system, and ways to modernise our current biosecurity risk management practices. The program will provide funding and support for projects focusing on our five key focus areas:

  • Communication and Collaboration
  • Automation
  • Data and Intelligence
  • Risk Analysis
  • Surveillance, diagnostics and screening
