Interactive menu of measures

Click on a highlighted 'measure category' to see further information from our working draft interactive Menu of Measures.

A new and improved Menu of Measures Resource is currently being developed in collaboration with the Australian government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF). The new resource will be available through the DAFF website from mid-2025. 

While the comprehensive resource is being developed, a working draft interactive menu can be explored here. We will retire this version later in the year, after the new Menu of Measures Resource is published online by DAFF.
