The Livestock, Bulk and Rural Carriers Association (LBRCA) supports strengthening Australia’s
biosecurity system. We ask that the National Biosecurity Reform Roadmap explicitly
recognise rural carriers and road freight as a partner in preventing and responding to pests
and diseases. Carriers connect farms, saleyards, feedlots, processors and ports. The
effectiveness of movement controls and washdown requirements depend on whether
operators can apply them safely on the road.
