Please contact our Systems Manager Jo Bainbridge on 08 8273 0550, Monday to Thursday 8.30am to 4.30pm, to discuss the information in your Notice of Assessment, to raise any concerns about payment, and importantly, to explore the range of payment options we offer.
Vineyard owner contributions enable Vinehealth Australia to deliver the services and regulatory functions needed to keep South Australian vineyards free of significant pests and diseases.
Vinehealth Australia’s biosecurity services and functions are focused on three key themes:
- Helping industry to prevent the introduction of significant pests into South Australia, your region and your vineyard.
- Supporting industry to prepare for a significant pest outbreak, and minimise the economic, social and environmental impact.
- When there is an outbreak or a suspected outbreak, working with the South Australian Government and impacted businesses to ensure a rapid and effective response to contain or eradicate, and support recovery.
These services help to safeguard your vines, which are the foundation of a sustainable South Australian grape and wine industry.
