Biosecurity Officer

Animal Biosecurity and Welfare (ABW) - ABW supports BQ's efforts to prevent, respond to and recover from diseases threatening livestock industries and maintaining access to market. Our people work together to help mitigate biosecurity risks, uphold standards for animal welfare and animal management and lead the overall DAF response to biosecurity emergency incidents to achieve outcomes consistent with the Department's strategic direction for leadership in animal welfare, exhibited animal, animal management and animal ethics policy and service delivery.

As our biosecurity officer, you will provide operational services that protect and enhance animal biosecurity and welfare in Queensland. With Queensland being affected by more biosecurity incursions than any other Australian state or territory, your efforts will be integral in helping the government prevent, respond to and recover from biosecurity concerns that threaten our environment and economy.

You will know you're achieving success in the role when you:

- are dedicated to protecting and enhancing animal biosecurity and welfare.
- can manage your own work priorities, ensuring assigned tasks are undertaken promptly and meet the project deliverables.
- are actively contributing as a member of a high-performing team.
