Australia's national biosecurity awards are now open for nominations.

The Australian Biosecurity Awards highlight the important role that everyone plays in keeping Australia safe from biosecurity risks.

Australia's biosecurity system protects $50 billion in direct tourism, $51 billion in agricultural, forestry and fisheries exports and 1.6 million Australian jobs across the supply chain.

Australia's Biosecurity System also safeguards human, animal and plant health against potentially devastating exotic pests and diseases like African Swine Fever, foot-and-mouth disease and Khapra beetle among many others.

The Australian Biosecurity Awards acknowledge and recognise individuals and groups that show a commitment to supporting and promoting Australia's biosecurity and the systems upholding it.

There will be eight award categories in the 2021 Australian Biosecurity Awards including the:
* Dr David Banks Biosecurity Lifetime Achievement Award
* Dr Kim Ritman Award for Science and Innovation
* Farm Biosecurity Producer of The Year Award — jointly presented with Animal Health Australia and Plant Health Australia.
* Industry Award
* Government Award
* Environmental Biosecurity Award
* Community Award
* Education Award

Nominations for the 2021 Australian Biosecurity Awards are open until 30 July.

This year's biosecurity champions will be announced at the Australian Biosecurity Awards dinner in November.
