Online Decision Tree

The Online Decision Tree is a tool designed to assist Applicants in the preparation of complete application packages. Applicants are encouraged to use this tool to help in minimising delays in the processing of their applications.

To use the tool, the '+' beside each question expands to a new set of questions. After answering a series of questions specifying the application type being made, links to the related guidance documents, the set of forms required to be completed, and how to prepare and submit the application will be provided.

To open a link and preserve the selections made, right-click the link and select 'open in new tab'. To save the section and its links, copy and paste the section to any text editing software.

For more information, please contact the Pest Management Information Service.
