About NAHIS
The National Animal Health Information System (NAHIS) collates data from a wide range of government and nongovernment surveillance and monitoring programs to report an overview of animal health in Australia. Following further development completed in 2009, NAHIS now houses data accessed by two pre-existing surveillance program applications: NAMPInfo (National Arbovirus Monitoring Program) and EDIS (Endemic Disease Information System).
The information collected by NAHIS is essential for supporting trade in animal commodities and meeting Australia’s international reporting obligations. NAHIS data are routinely reported, together with case reports of veterinary investigations, in the newsletter Animal Health Surveillance Quarterly, and are used by the Australian Government in reports to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, and the World Health Organisation.
