Event
The XXI International Plant Protection Congress (IPPC), held jointly with the 26th Australasian Plant Pathology Conference (APPC), in Christchurch 2027.
Event
The 5th International Congress on Biological Invasions seeks to explore the theme From Threats to Solutions: Advancing Biosecurity.
Event
The 57th Australian Entomological Society Conference returns to Sydney in December 2026, featuring 4 keynote lectures, 1 public lecture, full-length and lightning talks, posters and plenty of networking opportunities.
Event
A free, hands-on, in person workshop by the ANU Centre for Biodiversity Analysis focused on the application of whole-genome population genomics to monitoring and managing invasive and endangered populations.
Event
The Plant Innovation Centre (PIC) invites you to join their annual Mini-Science Exchange (Mini-SX) where they present updates on current projects, discuss future project ideas and priorities, and host a selection of external speakers to inform, enlighten, and exchange views on the application of research and innovation to improve biosecurity outcomes and service delivery.

Event
This seminar will provide an overview of recent developments in Nanopore sequencing and showcase applications across a broad range of biological disciplines.
Past events
Event
The Annual Surveillance Workshop (ASW) and the Annual Diagnostics Workshop (ADW) are networking events for diagnosticians and surveillance practitioners to come together to share knowledge and learnings.
Event
The HPIS is an interdisciplinary, international congress, bringing together researchers who study phytophagous piercing/sucking insects, their complex interactions with their host plants, environment and pathogen transmission.
Event
Nanopore sequencing has opened up the potential of novel biosecurity applications in every laboratory due to its portability, small foot print, and minimal capital investment required. To fully exploit Nanopore sequencing’s potential and to modernise Australian biosecurity we need to build capacity and proficiency for end-users with hands-on workshops in sequencing and data analysis. This biosecurity focused workshop aims to contribute to capacity building and establish a community of practice of Nanopore sequencing focusing on biosecurity and eDNA.
Event
Presentations: Tuesday 30th August – Thursday 1st September
Workshops: Monday 29th August and Friday 2nd September
AgriBio, Centre for AgriBioscience, Melbourne

Event
Funding is available to members of the National Plant Biosecurity Diagnostic Network (NPBDN) for Diagnostic Residentials projects that show benefit to the NPBDN and national plant biosecurity diagnostics. Diagnostic Residentials involve plant biosecurity diagnostician(s) spending time in another laboratory, workplace, or by participating in relevant activities that improve the national capability to identify plant pests.
Event
Animal Health Australia, the Invasive Species Council, the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions and Plant Health Australia are excited to host the 2nd Australian Biosecurity Symposium on 3-5 May 2022 on the Gold Coast, QLD. The Symposium will once again focus on biosecurity prevention and provide the opportunity to share research and innovation, explore outside-of-the-box thinking and exchange knowledge and ideas across the biosecurity collective – agriculture (animals and plants), pest animals, weeds, wildlife, aquatics, humans and the environment.
Event
11th Australasian Soilborne Disease Symposium (ASDS), Hilton Cairns, Queensland, Australia, 1st – 5th August 2022.
Pre-symposium workshops and field trips will feature current topics of interest including:
– Pathogen-Plant-Microbe Interactions
– Overcoming Fusarium wilts
– On-farm biosecurity practices
