Capacity & Capability
National Committees
Involvement in recognised government and industry committees enables PHA to ensure national plant health policy issues are raised and addressed, promote national partnership approaches to solve these issues, lead, coordinate, or participate in, projects initiated by these Committees where they fit with PHA’s Corporate Plan, are appropriately funded, and will deliver a return to Members, and contribute technical expertise, strategic insight and independent views.
PHA also uses these opportunities to ensure industry considerations and requirements are taken into account in government committee processes, and government processes are considered in industry planning.
