What we do
When it comes to invasive species, prevention is much easier and cheaper than cure.
That’s why we focus our efforts on stopping new invasive species from entering the country and preventing the spread of those weeds and pests that have already established a foothold in Australia.
We aim to:
Increase understanding by building government, industry and public awareness about the threats of invasive species to Australia’s native biodiversity
Protect Australia from the most dangerous invasive species by advocating for prohibitions, declarations, and control of particular species.
Reform laws, policies and practices to increase the nation’s capacity to prevent the importation of more invasive species and to limit the establishment and spread of weeds and pests in Australia.
Build a community of invasive species advocates by working with our members, other environment and community groups, experts and decision-makers to build the momentum for reform.
Work at the cutting edge by identifying and raising awareness of emerging issues and keeping up with the latest science.
