Plant Biosecurity CRC

The Plant Biosecurity Cooperative Research Centre (PBCRC) was established in recognition of the need to strengthen the plant biosecurity scientific capacity of Australia. The PBCRC started its six year term on 1 July 2012, as an extension CRC from the Cooperative Research Centre for National Plant Biosecurity, which began operating in November 2005. Our head office is located in Canberra where we centrally coordinate plant biosecurity research across all Australian states and territories. We have an extensive collaborative network of researchers and educators from 27 participating organisations from both Australia and overseas, representing industry, universities, and state and federal government.
