Program Leader: 
KLINKENR
Description: 

Preparedness and Prevention Program Image

Outcome

Prevention: Reduced incidence of harmful plant pest and disease incursions.

Goal

Decreased incidence and impact of harmful plant pest and disease incursions through contributing to the development of systems, based on risk-weighted, science-based decision making.

Indicators of Success 

Economics:

New tools to improve the speed of incursion delimitation and scientific defensibility of area freedom.

Policy:

Improved transparency in policy decisions in the area of import risk assessments.

Science:

New approaches to analysing risk accepted by peers through scientific publication and invitations to present at key meetings, conferences and workshops.

Capacity/Collaboration:

New decision tools (e.g. Deliberative Multi-criteria Assessment, Quantitative Impact Assessment) available to end-users through training. 

Impact/Adoption:

New tools (simulation frameworks) used by end-users to either replace or improve existing processes.

 

Strategic Objectives: 

To undertake research that will provide rapid identification of plant biosecurity threats in order to decrease the cost of eradication and impacts through rapid response.
