SafeFish, provides technical advice to support Australia’s seafood trade and market access negotiations and helps to resolve barriers to trade. It does this by bringing together experts in food safety and hygiene to work with the industry and regulators to agree and prioritise technical issues impacting on free and fair market access for Australian seafood.
Safefish has a record of success in reopening markets and in responding quickly when issues arise. By involving all relevant parties in discussions and, where necessary, commissioning additional research to fill any knowledge gaps, an agreed Australian position is reached that is technically sound and defensible. This robust process builds knowledge and relationships, and results in better outcomes for industry in maintaining fair market access and ensuring that the seafood they sell is safe.
SafeFish is if funded by the FRDC and partners. The partners of SafeFish provide general oversight and assist in the identification of emerging issues. They also assist in communicating the technical outputs of SafeFish through appropriate channels in Australia and overseas to facilitate the resolution of issues.
