transport                                 Includes:
                                             movement of GMOs between one authorised physical containment facility and another;
                                             movement of GMOs between one authorised physical containment facility and storage outside of an authorised physical containment facility;
                                             movement of GMOs between a place of storage outside of an authorised physical containment facility to another place of storage outside of an authorised physical containment facility;
                                             movement of GMOs between any points specified in a licence;
                                             movement of GMOs from any point specified in a licence to an authorised physical containment facility;
                                             movement of GMOs from an authorised physical containment facility, or from storage outside of an authorised physical containment facility, to a place where the GMOs are to be decontaminated or disposed of (e.g. to an autoclave or incinerator);
                                             movement of GMOs imported into Australia from the Australian border to: an authorised physical containment facility; storage outside of an authorised physical containment facility; or a point of export from Australia or to a place where the GMOs are to be decontaminated or disposed of;
                                             movement of GMOs to be exported from Australia, to the Australian border from an authorised physical containment facility or from storage outside of an authorised physical containment facility;
                                             movement of liquid waste containing GMOs via piping or tubing from an authorised physical containment facility to a place outside the boundary of the facility for further transport, storage, decontamination or disposal.

                                          Within these guidelines transport does not include movement of GMOs:
                                             from an area in an authorised physical containment facility to another area entirely within the same facility; or
                                             from one part of an area authorised by a licence to another part of the same area (for example, from one part of a field planting location to another part of the same field planting location).

unbreakable                               Able to withstand all reasonably expected conditions of transport and storage such as: the forces, shocks and impacts expected during handling; or changes of temperature, humidity or air pressure.

                                             able to survive or multiply even though resuscitation procedures may be required, e.g. when sub-lethally damaged by being frozen, dried, heated, or affected by chemicals, including decontamination agents.
