Australia's reputation as a 'clean, green' supplier of animals and animal products relies on our ability to provide trading partners with credible and justifiable surveillance information. The increasing demands of trade and human health are applying pressure on Australia's national surveillance system and this in turn is increasing the need for national coordination of surveillance activities. The Animal Disease Surveillance Program has been managed as a core program of Animal Health Australia for a number of years and is funded from both Members' subscriptions and other sources.

The program provides a nationally integrated surveillance system to underpin trade that is supported by the adoption of new and innovative technologies for data generation and information management systems. There are several core activities of the program that are funded by all Members as well as some special projects that are funded by a subset. For further information about these activities please follow the links on the left of this page.
