Hitchhiker pest awareness webinar

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry is hosting a webinar to raise awareness of the increasing risk of hitchhiker pests associated with shipping containers and imported goods, and you are invited!  

If you work in import, retail, shipping, freight, logistics or transport industries, you play a crucial role in spotting these pests. By regularly handling imported goods and shipping containers, you may be the first to notice anything unusual.  

This webinar is for you if you want to learn more about your vital role in helping to protect Australia from pests that threaten our farms, environment, and way of life.  

When and where: 

• 4 September 2024: 10-11:30am (AEST) OR 

• 5 September 2024: 10-11:30am (AEST)

Both sessions will cover the same content and will be delivered as an online videoconference via Live MS Teams.
