Adapting the materials for use

- Download the editable files of the materials you wish to use, in the relevant format (e.g. ‘Letter’ or ‘A4'). If you require another format (e.g. A3 or publisher files) please contact us.
- Adapt the text and photos to make these relevant to your Territory and add your logos and contact details. You can find information on a range of species in the Species Identification Guides in the Biosecurity Tool Kit.
