The Biosecurity Warrior delivers science-based content and messaging from the department's educational charter. The Biosecurity Warrior’s mission is to educate the community in an engaging, interactive and relevant way to help spread the message that biosecurity is a shared responsibility and we all have a role to play in protecting our economy, environment and community from pests, diseases, weeds and contaminants.
Our aim is to turn every person in the state into a Biosecurity Warrior by ensuring they know how to identify biosecurity risks and take action to eliminate them.
Biosecurity Warrior is a Trademark of the department. Other organisations can apply for a licence to use Biosecurity Warrior to help spread the word about biosecurity.
Our environment is precious and unique
Biosecurity in NSW focuses on ensuring the supply of healthy safe food, recreational access to our state's natural resources and minimising the risk to native flora and fauna.
We work with other government agencies, industry and the community to protect against biosecurity threats and the negative impacts of animal and plant pests, diseases and weeds.
We all have a role to play in minimising biosecurity threats.
