NSW Cattle Tick Program Consultation - Lismore Workshop

The NSW Independent Biosecurity Commissioner (the Commissioner) is seeking feedback on the NSW Cattle Tick Program (the Program). The Program objective is to prevent cattle tick entering NSW from other jurisdictions and to detect and eradicate infestations. Cattle tick is a serious pest that spreads tick fever, a leading cause of cattle deaths in Australia. It costs the national cattle industry more than $160 million each year and, if unchecked, could cost NSW producers an estimated $32 million annually.

Your feedback is important. By improving understanding together, we will help shape the future of cattle tick management in NSW.
