Biosecurity Act 2025

A person may apply to the relevant Chief Officer for biosecurity registration in respect of a regulated dealing.

An application must—

be made in the approved form; and

specify each type of regulated dealing that the person intends to engage in under the registration; and

include, or be accompanied by, any information or evidence that the relevant

Chief Officer reasonably requires in connection with the application; and

be accompanied by the prescribed fee.

The relevant Chief Officer may, by written notice, require an applicant for biosecurity registration to provide further information, documents or records relevant to the application.

The applicant may, with the approval of the relevant Chief Officer or at the request of the relevant Chief Officer, amend the application before the relevant Chief Officer has finished considering it.

The relevant Chief Officer may require an applicant for biosecurity registration to lodge a separate application for each regulated dealing that the applicant wishes to engage in under the biosecurity registration.
