Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, August 2023
We have developed the Urban Search and Rescue Taskforces – Biosecurity Guidelines. The guidelines provide information and guidance on Australian biosecurity requirements for returning search and rescue teams deployed overseas, and international taskforces entering Australia to assist with emergency responses and humanitarian aid.
The guidelines detail:
- roles and responsibilities
- Australia's biosecurity risks
- offshore cleaning requirements
- on-arrival inspection regime
- appropriate actions required by the department.
