Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Determination legally adopts the July 2011 Security Sensitive Biological Agent (SSBA) Standards, making the Standards’ security rules for high-risk pathogens and toxins (those that could be used as biological weapons) enforceable under the National Health Security Act 2007.

It applies to Australian facilities that store, handle or research these agents, revokes the 2010 Determination, and turns technical guidance on access control and personnel vetting into binding law to reduce theft, misuse or accidental release.
