​​​​​​​​​​The Tasmanian Biosecurity Awards recognise individuals, organisations or businesses for significant contributions to biosecurity in Tasmania.

Biosecurity is foundational to Tasmania's economic, cultural, and natural values. We all share the benefits of our strong biosecurity system as it:

underpins our multi-billion-dollar agri-food production and export industries, and

helps to protect our unique flora, fauna and ecosystems that are of immeasurable value to Tasmanians. This includes to​ our First Nations peoples, the original and ongoing custodians of Land and Sea Country, as well as visitors to our state.​

The Tasmanian Biosecurity Awards: 

spotlight outstanding biosecurity projects, contributions and/or advocacy

represent a platform to reinforce, recognise and promote positive behavioural change relating to biosecurity in our industries and the Tasmanian community

recognise those in our communities and industries who ​have gone above and beyond to help protect our future and deliver a sustainable Tasmania.
