Impact Management
Outcome
Response: Reduced losses from incursions by harmful pests and diseases.
Goal
Reduced economic and social impact from incursions of harmful pests and diseases through new control, risk mitigation and recovery strategies.
Indicators of success
Economic:
Decreased economic and social cost for future pest and disease eradications and scientific defensibility of market access conditions.
Science:
New tools to optimise incursion responses accepted by peers through scientific publication and invitations to present at key meetings, conferences and workshops.
Policy:
New tools to manage plant biosecurity threats are integrated into response strategies through consultation with end-users.
Impact/Adoption:
New procedures for the eradication of plant biosecurity threats are used by end-users.
