The manner by which this requirement is preactically achieved has yet to be collectively agreed. So, to date, parties have individually developed and applied measurew they consider will provide the Antarctic with an appropriate level of protection. The Australian Antarctic Division has developed a quarantine management system for Australia's Antarctic Program. This paper describes the principles underpinning those quarantine practices currently in place.
