The National Weed Incursion Plan (NWIP) is an operational plan and guideline for managing national responses to weed incursions. Application of the NWIP is triggered by the detection of a high-risk weed species. Outlined in the document are procedures that are generic for all responses to weed incursions.

The NWIP sits within the AusBIOSEC framework and provides the essential steps required to execute a response to a high risk weed incursion. It is consistent with current major incident documents such as PLANTPLAN and AUSVETPLAN.

The NWIP covers the framework of emergency response (Prevention of weed incursions, Preparedness for weed incursions, Responses to weed incursions and Recovery from responses to weed incursions), Communication, Information systems and an Introduction. The Appendices provide significant detail on different components of the plan.

The Weed Incursion Response Toolkit (WIR Toolkit) developed in conjunction with the National Weed Incursion Plan. The WIR Toolkit supports the plan by providing incursion managers with structured methods used to assess and quickly respond to weed incursions.
