Could you show your vehicles were clean when they went through the gate?

Most fleets clean their gear. Far fewer could put something in front of a landholder months later that shows it. This check scores how well your business could evidence its vehicle hygiene practice, and names the areas worth reviewing.

10 questions. About 3 minutes. No sign-up needed to see your score.

What sits behind this

General information only. It is not applied to your answers.

Under the Biosecurity Act 2014 (Qld), everyone has a general biosecurity obligation to take all reasonable and practical measures to prevent or minimise a biosecurity risk they know or ought reasonably to know about — and that includes entering and leaving a place.

There is no law in Queensland that requires a vehicle hygiene certificate. The certificate exists because it is how a business shows it met its obligation, and because landholders and operators require it as a condition of access.

Some invasive plants are restricted matter, and moving a thing infested with them can be an offence in its own right.

Fire ant biosecurity zones restrict the movement of carriers — which includes anything with soil attached to it. Zones are remapped monthly. Check the current fire ant zones
