Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: facilitating the establishment of the Aquatic Animal Health Consultative Committee (AAHCC) as the primary industry-government interface for aquatic animal health issues in Australia

Need

The current program of simulation exercises to be conducted under the auspices of the Federal Budget Initiative is designed to provide individual jurisdictions with training in the management of an aquatic animal disease emergency.
However, within Australia, both marine and freshwater environments cross State/Territory boundaries. The need for inter-jurisdictional co-operation in successful disease control and eradication has not previously been addressed. A current FRDC project, 2002/660 is providing training focussed on the operation of the Consultative Committee on Emergency Animal Diseases, however, the aims and objectives of the current proposal are to develop cooperation at a technical and operational level rather than the strategic level addressed by project 2002/660.

This project is needed to allow the development of the exercise materials and ensure that the exercise is effectively and efficiently planned.

This project submission has been requested by the FRDC Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram.

Objectives

1. To develop in consultation with a range of government and no-government organisations, a simulation exercise that will effectively address issues of inter-jurisdictional communication and cooperation in response to an emergency disease incident.
2. To engage the States/Territories that share the Murray/Darling Basin in the planning exercise and in doing so, heighten the awareness of these jurisdictions to the potential for incursions of emergency disease.
3. To negotiate funding for the subsequent simulation exercise from a range of participating agencies.
