Apply for a permit—biosecurity instrument
You will need to apply for a biosecurity instrument permit if you need to move something and a Movement Control Order or the Biosecurity Regulation 2016 currently does not allow the movement because it may create a biosecurity risk.
Moving materials that can carry fire ants?
Complete a fire ant material movement permit through the National Fire Ant Eradication Program.
