This disease could cripple our industry and cause the death of many animals/ livestock. Please if you are travelling overseas, especially Bali, take it seriously
Travelling overseas? Be biosecurity aware ⚠
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease affecting animals such as cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. The virus can be carried in meat, dairy and animal products, and on clothing and equipment. 🐄🐑🐖
Help keep FMD out of Australia:
🍖⛔ Do not bring meat and dairy products.
👟🧽 Clean dirty shoes, clothing and equipment before boarding your flight to Australia.
🛃 🚶♀️ Declare any meat, dairy and animal products, and any travel in rural areas or near farm animals on your incoming passenger declaration.
Serious penalties apply if you don’t declare truthfully. You may be issued with an infringement notice of up to $2,664, be prosecuted or have your visa cancelled. If in doubt, speak to a biosecurity official. 🐶👮♂️
