An updated schedule of prices and current cost to deliver regulatory activities are provided in the 2025-26 Biosecurity CRIS and pricing tables.

The 2025-26 Biosecurity CRIS and pricing tables can be accessed on the department’s website.

New fees and charges for biosecurity and imported food regulatory activities will commence on 1 July 2025.
