One of Animal Health Australia's key functions is to ensure that the Australian animal health system is well prepared in the event of outbreaks of emergency animal diseases. To achieve this goal, Animal Health Australia manages the Emergency Animal Disease Preparedness (EADP) program on behalf of its Members.
The EADP program has been a core program for the Company since 1996 and it reflects Animal Health Australia's recognition of the importance of Australia's emergency animal disease (EAD) preparedness to Australia's animal health status. The EADP program is working to ensure that:
