Australian Weeds Committee
The Australian Weeds Committee (AWC) provides an inter-governmental mechanism for identifying and resolving weed issues at a national level.
The AWC is a cross-jurisdictional committee with members from the Australian Government and all state and territory governments. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and Plant Health Australia are observers on the committee.
The AWC oversees the administration of the Australian Weed Strategy (AWS), which is the overarching policy for weed management in Australia. The AWS outlines goals and actions required to keep Australia's economic, environmental and social assets secure from the impacts of weeds.
