The Tasmanian Government is pleased to announce the appointment of Rae Burrows as the new General Manager of Biosecurity Tasmania.
Ms Burrows takes over from former General Manager Dr Lloyd Klumpp who retired last year after a decade in the role.
Ms Burrows brings a wealth of experience in biosecurity and fisheries management to the role and has acted in the position for almost a year where she has ably led Biosecurity Tasmania in the ongoing COVID-19 border restrictions response.
