Sunshine Coast Regional District, Australia Queensland Government Full time

Bring legacy to life. For the future of Queensland and the world. #DPIcareers.

We are looking for a Principal Biosecurity Officer to join our high-performing team in Invasive Plants and Animals.

Responsibilities:
  • Work within a team of biosecurity officers to protect Queensland from invasive biosecurity threats in partnership with stakeholders.
  • Regulate the Biosecurity Act 2014 to prevent the introduction, keeping, and movement of invasive species.

Biosecurity Queensland plays a vital role in securing the state's agricultural prosperity and preserving and protecting the health of our environment and economy. We are dedicated to safeguarding both human and animal health by preventing and mitigating plant and animal pests and diseases. We work tirelessly to uphold high animal welfare standards and maintain access to interstate markets, critical for Queensland's thriving primary industries. Biosecurity Queensland monitors and regulates the application of agricultural and veterinary chemicals, ensuring they are used safely and in compliance with legislation. With a commitment to developing capabilities and preparedness, we are at the forefront of protecting Queensland against biosecurity risks.

Invasive Plants and Animals significantly affect the environment, agricultural production, infrastructure, human health, and our way of life. The IP&A Program directs, facilitates, and delivers strategic and targeted actions to reduce the impact of invasive species in Queensland.

As a senior biosecurity officer, you will deliver operational services that protect Queensland from the impacts of high-risk invasive species. With Queensland affected by more biosecurity incursions than any other Australian state or territory, your efforts will be crucial in helping the government prevent, respond to, and recover from invasive species that threaten human health, social amenity, our economy, and environment.

You will know you're achieving success when you:

  • are dedicated to mitigating the impacts of invasive species on Queensland's economy and environment.
  • Work effectively to prevent the establishment of invasive species and support stakeholders in managing invasive species.
  • are actively contributing as a senior member of a high-performing team.

It is a requirement for all Biosecurity Queensland positions to have a criminal history check completed. Applications remain current for 12 months.
