DPI should develop a strategy to deliver an integrated and coordinated approach to prevention and early detection across the livestock value chain. As part of the strategy DPI should:
• target high risk groups
• introduce legislation to clarify industry roles and responsibilities with respect to
biosecurity practice and performance standards
• build industry and on-farm capacity to prevent and detect diseases early through incorporating biosecurity principles into QA programs and introducing trigger reporting requirements
• review the purpose, roles and responsibilities of existing consultative structures to support close alignment with objectives for improved biosecurity
• promote a close working relationship between policy, program development and operational arms dealing with livestock diseases
• give DPI regional extension staff an expanded role to improve awareness and engagement in local communities.
