The training program has been designed to provide best practice guidance for biosecurity management and planning across the following cohorts:

Egg producers/farmers

Mid-tier poultry farmers

Meat chicken slaughterers

Broiler operations

Small holders

Caravan/hobby farmers

The one-day training exercise will cover the following:

Module 1 Introduction to Biosecurity

Module 2 Pathways for Entry and Managing Risk

Module 3 Key Phases of Biosecurity Management

Module 4 Biosecurity Management Planning

Module 5 Case Studies

Participants will walk away with a documented Biosecurity Management Plan, which they will develop during the training. Stakeholders who currently have a biosecurity management plan in place will be encouraged to bring their plan with them to the training, and conduct an assessment on the plan’s currency, thoroughness, and consider opportunities to update or improve the plan.
