SUMMARY:Myrtle Rust Surveillance Training Course
DESCRIPTION:Location: Brisbane and the Gold Coast where the significant impact of this disease can be viewed firsthand. \n\n\n\nThe 2025 Training course has been postponed till 2026.  \n\n\n\nJoin Senior Forest Pathologist Dr Geoff Pegg of Queensland’s Department of Agriculture & Fisheries for this in-depth surveillance training\, an exciting initiative intended to assist in building capacity in Western Australians to proactively identify and report new suspected Myrtle Rust infestations during standard field operations. \n\n\n\n\nRegister your interest for 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey Training Outcomes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIdentify Myrtle Rust\n\n\n\nConfidently identify Myrtle Rust at a range of sites\, on a range of hosts\, and over a series of life stages. This will include the observation of cryptic symptoms such as early signs and the characteristic “scorched” appearance left behind by the fungus. \n\n\n\nObserve Leaf Symptoms\n\n\n\nObserve leaf symptoms which are not caused by Myrtle Rust and learn to categorise and rule out these symptoms. \n\n\n\nSite Identification\n\n\n\nIdentify sites which are most at risk from Myrtle Rust and incorporate these sites into surveillance planning. \n\n\n\nEffective Hygiene\n\n\n\nPlan and apply effective hygiene in the field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy having trained personnel in a variety of industries and locations in WA\, we hope to increase the chances of early detection in our state. \n\n\n\nThe course is recommended for those who have a field or botanical focus to their role\, who will have the opportunity to observe and report Myrtle Rust when working with susceptible plant communities. We encourage all sectors to participate and do their part towards mitigating the impact of Myrtle Rust in WA (Biosecurity surveillance is at its most effective with as many sets of boots on the ground as possible!). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Itinerary
