Help strengthen Australia’s emergency animal disease preparedness 💪

We’re inviting livestock industry professionals to take part in the Liaison – Livestock Industry (LLI) workshop designed to enhance our collective readiness and response to emergency animal disease (EAD) events.

📍 30 October – Adelaide, SA

This workshop will explore detailed EAD response arrangements and equip participants with a clear understanding of the LLI role—its responsibilities, communication pathways, and how it supports coordination between industry and government during a crisis.

This is not general awareness training. It’s targeted, practical preparation for those who may represent their industry in a control centre during an EAD outbreak.

Nominations are open through your Peak Industry Body (PIB) as one of Animal Health Australia’s livestock industry members. Together, we can build a more resilient livestock sector.

Think biosecurity isn’t your job? Think again. Whether you're packing the car for a family trip, heading out fishing, or pitching a tent in the bush - your actions matter.

✅ Don’t carry fruit across borders
✅ Clean your gear, boots and boat
✅ Stop pests before they spread

It doesn’t take a badge to protect Australia’s farms, wildlife and way of life. Just a bit of know-how.

🛡️ Strengthening crisis readiness

On 8 August, Exercise Multiplex brought key industry and government players to Adelaide, including DAFF, PIRSA, AHA, and peak industry bodies (WPA, GICA, APL, CA, DA, APL, Livestock SA).

Participants tested new crisis management plan templates developed by Phoenix Resilience to support industry bodies in responding to emergency animal disease outbreaks and other crises.

💬 Thanks to everyone who contributed their time and expertise—your feedback will help refine these tools. The final phase of the project will focus on some training and launching a dedicated site for easy access for industry bodies in future emergencies.

A big step forward in building resilience across Australia's animal health sector! 🐄🐑🐖
