Australia’s One Health approach to biosecurity, along with its island status and stringent import requirements, has allowed it to maintain a reputation as a global leader in biosecurity. In the future, Australia’s best-in-class preventative action will be required to help the nation’s rural industries maintain a reputation as global leaders in biosecurity.
