Australia’s national biosecurity awards recognised New South Wales work in three categories this year. The NSW government highlighted the results on November 11.

Kevin Cooper received the lifetime achievement award. The NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development-led response to the varroa mite emergency was one of the winners in the government category.

The Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative won the education award for its work to develop the next generation of plant biosecurity professionals, NSW said. The national awards recognised 12 winners across nine categories.
