The Australian Government is currently operating in caretaker mode. This website is hosted by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. We will continue to gather stakeholder feedback during the caretaker period to inform our future advice to government following the election.

Public consultation on this topic is now closed.

How you had your say

We invited feedback from the public and industry groups on the draft report for fresh beef and beef products from the United States including sourced from cattle imported from Canada or Mexico.

What happens next

We will review and consider your feedback to develop the final report. Updates can be found on the fresh beef and beef products from the United States including sourced from cattle imported from Canada or Mexico page.

We anticipate the final report will be released late 2024.
