What the working group does

The Domestic Quarantine and Market Access Working Group ensures that the development of domestic market access conditions for plants and plant products in Australia are:

  • technically justified to minimise regulatory burdens on industry
  • coordinated and harmonised (aligned and compatible), where possible, across the country and regions, and
  • consistent with Australia's international import and export market access conditions and policies.

A more detailed outline of what the working group does is provided in its Terms of Reference. The working group is a sub-group of Australia's national Plant Health Committee.

The working group progresses specific areas of its activities through its three sub-groups.
