The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) (within the Australian Department for Agriculture, Water and the Environment) developed General Surveillance Program Guidelines (the Guidelines). The Guidelines provide non-prescriptive considerations for instigating, implementing and monitoring general surveillance programs based on systems thinking and drawing on lessons learned from nine Australian and New Zealand in-depth case studies and literature. General surveillance programs are extensive undertakings covering various components, such as notifier engagement; in-depth knowledge of the pests, weeds or diseases and their environments; reporting tool development/use; pest and weed identification or disease diagnosis; and data design, management and analysis for the intended data use. These aspects need to be supported by effective program management, continual improvement and an enabling environment. Systems thinking helped to understand what facilitates success for each of these components; and the interactions and feedback loops between them, because weakness in one component can have ramifications for other parts of the system or the system as a whole.
