Integrated Regulatory Framework

Biosecurity is a shared responsibility. Governments at the national, state, and local levels work alongside industry, land managers, and communities to prevent, detect, and manage pests, weeds, and diseases across New South Wales.

Regulation of agriculture and biosecurity in NSW is shared across multiple government agencies. The Integrated Regulatory Framework provides a single, coordinated platform that guides how NSW regulators work together.

The framework promotes strong collaboration and coordination between regulatory agencies with biosecurity and agricultural responsibilities. It aligns shared priorities, supports transparent performance reporting, and helps tell the full story of how government actions protect public, environmental, and economic value.

By strengthening joint efforts, the framework improves how NSW prepares for, responds to, and manages biosecurity risks and food safety, preventing harm and minimising impacts when incidents occur.

The Integrated Regulatory Framework establishes a consistent, statewide approach to regulating agriculture and biosecurity in NSW. By working together, we deliver better outcomes for the people, culture, economy, and environment of our state, because we are better together.
