Controlling invasive animals

Some introduced animals from other countries have become invasive pests in Queensland.

Invasive animals – including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects and birds – threaten Queensland's primary industries, natural ecosystems, and human and animal health.

Under the Biosecurity Act 2014, everyone has an obligation to prevent or minimise the impact of invasive animals on human health, social amenity, the economy and the environment.

This guide explains how to control invasive animals on your property, how this can benefit your business, and what support services are available.
