Property Risk Assessment

Overview

This module is part of the Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) learning module and focuses on managing on-farm risks that can impact food safety, livestock health and market access.

In this module, you’ll explore how to assess your property for potential hazards and take steps to reduce those risks. Potential hazards include physical contaminants, chemical residues and for cattle properties recycled water usage.

Whether you’re selling, moving, or producing livestock, knowing how to manage on-farm risks supports both compliance and the integrity of Australia’s red meat supply chain.
