A Message from the Grower Support (Biosecurity) Program Manager

As we look toward 2026, one thing is clear, biosecurity is a shared responsibility. Every grower, worker, supplier and community member plays a role in keeping our farms and the industry safe.

This year, we’ve focused on practical, risk-based approaches to support growers, from targeted surveillance and guidance on managing TR4, through to investigating the risks of growing alternate crops on land where the disease is already present.

It’s been about working together, sharing knowledge, and making sure you have the tools and advice you need.

Thank you for your ongoing care and attention throughout 2025. The Grower Support (Biosecurity) team will continue to be available over the holiday period if you need assistance or have any questions.

As always, for the most up to date information and resources, your go to is here on our website: abgcgrowersupport.com.au and you can always email us growersupport@abgc.org.au We look forward to working with you in 2026, keeping farms and industry strong and hope you can enjoy some down-time throughout the holiday season.
