Expert biosecurity advice on governance, risk, and compliance solutions.
Protecting Australia’s environment through proactive biosecurity risk management before cargo leaves the point of origin. With extensive experience supporting major Australian infrastructure, renewable energy, maritime, and oil & gas projects, we deliver practical biosecurity consulting solutions across Australia and internationally. Our team brings direct operational experience working within Australian Government biosecurity frameworks, including AQIS/DAFF environments, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and reduced border clearance risk. We specialise in managing biosecurity risk throughout the entire project supply chain — from offshore manufacturing facilities and pre-export inspections through to port arrival, biosecurity compliance, and site delivery.
Comprehensive Biosecurity Consulting Services
Australian Biosecurity Services (ABS) delivers end-to-end biosecurity consulting, inspection and supply-chain assurance for major infrastructure projects involving components, modules, machinery and equipment manufactured offshore and imported into Australia.
Too often, biosecurity is considered only when imported equipment reaches the Australian border. By then, the opportunity to identify and address potential risks at their source may have passed. For major infrastructure projects, biosecurity failures can result in costly treatment, port delays, demurrage, additional handling, detention or even re-export, disrupting critical construction schedules and increasing project costs.
ABS believes biosecurity must be incorporated into project planning, international procurement and logistics from the outset. Our focus is on ensuring consignments are appropriately inspected, prepared and supported by the necessary documentation before shipment, helping clients meet Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) import biosecurity requirements and minimise the risk of avoidable border interventions.
Operating worldwide, ABS provides specialist consulting, auditing and inspection services across international manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, warehousing and consolidation facilities, as well as within Australia.
We don't wait for biosecurity problems to arrive in Australia. We work to identify and resolve them before they leave their country of origin.
