Farm Visitor Requirements

Restricting entry to the farm or biosecurity zones within the farm is fundamentally important for property security and farm biosecurity.

Documents to assist in managing visitor access to the farm are available: 

• Farm Entry Sign: as required on farm entrances in some states. 
• Template Visitor Log: printable PDF and word doc visitor log pages.
