About Guardian

Introduction

This site has been established by the Australian Industry Training Group on Biosecurity to serve participants in Approved Arrangements (AAs) with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (the Department).

Approved arrangements, previously Quarantine Approved Premises and Compliance Agreements, are voluntary arrangements entered into with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

These arrangements allow operators to manage biosecurity risks in accordance with Departmental requirements, using their own premises, facilities, equipment and people, and without constant supervision by the Department and with occasional compliance monitoring or auditing.

Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Resources Training

The Department endorses this site to offer Approved Arrangement Accreditation training for industry personnel wishing to become Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Approved Arrangement (Classes 1-8) Accredited Persons.
