There has been a growing understanding among plant industries of the need to be more engaged in post-border biosecurity activities, including resourcing and undertaking early-detection surveillance and contingency planning. Here we summarise Australia’s broader plant biosecurity system along with current, forest-specific biosecurity surveillance activities. We then introduce a proposal for a forest biosecurity partnership between the federal gove
