 What can we do as a community to keep Australia safe?

We can as a community spread public awareness, so knowledge of what pests and diseases can do to our environment and how it can harm ourselves. We can also report anything suspicious that we see. For example, an insect that you haven’t seen before and have no knowledge of could prove to be very dangerous. We could also make more effort into keeping equipment clean by wiping it over with disinfectants in our household.
