The Biosecurity Act 2015 supersedes the Quarantine Act 1908 and manages biosecurity risks in Australia.
Status: Current legislation
The Biosecurity Act 2015 is an Act of the Parliament of Australia which manages biosecurity risks in Australia. It was enacted on 16 June 2015, after the Bill was passed with bipartisan support on 14 May 2015. It covers both agricultural and human medical biosecurity risks, including epidemics and pandemics, and is designed to contain and/or deal with any "diseases and pests that may cause harm to human, animal or plant health or the environment" in Australia.
The application of the Act was particularly tested during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia.
