Foxes in Tasmania

The Fox Eradication Branch was established by the Tasmanian Government to undertake an eradication program to rid the state of any foxes that may be present, and to ensure foxes are never a threat again.

Notifiable animal diseases

The law relating to notifiable animal diseases is a very important part of our defence of Tasmania’s livestock against serious diseases. We need to be able to investigate any sign of any of the listed diseases quickly and, if a case of the disease were to be confirmed, act quickly and effectively in containing and then controlling or eradicating the disease.

Pest and disease outbreaks (Aust Gov)

Access to local, state and national information on responses to outbreaks of animal and plant pests and diseases.

Tasmanian biosecurity strategy

The Strategy is a whole-of-Government framework within which biosecurity issues in Tasmania can be addressed in the most efficient and effective way. Co-ordination of biosecurity activities across Tasmania is seen as vital in optimising resources and in, not only maintaining, but also building on the State's strong biosecurity status.
