Have your say on new Plant Pass checklist
Plant Pass is consulting on an important update. This is your opportunity to give feedback on the refreshed Plant Pass Checklist Version 2.0 and ensure the voluntary certification scheme continues to best serve our industry.
The Plant Pass Hazard Management Checklist Version 1.4 will be replaced with the Plant Pass Checklist Version 2.0.
The checklist is a key document in the Plant Pass framework that helps support and improve your biosecurity and risk management practices.
While the checklist, which has been in use since 2022, has proven effective in setting standards, the refresh aims for a more practical and less complex checklist, better aligned with today’s biosecurity risks.
The Plant Pass Checklist Version 2.0 has been developed with input from producers, partners and industry technical experts.
The new checklist:
- Removes duplication
- Embeds criteria requirements directly in the checklist
- Updates alignment between the sections
- Improves integration with existing industry standards.
The consultation is open for submissions until 28 October 2025. Following consultation and Plant Pass Governance Group approval, we expect to release the new checklist in December 2025. Thank you for your contribution.
Note: The consultation background and guidance document contains details of a transition period and support offered for the change between checklist versions.
