About the program
The National Animal Health Information System provides timely and accurate summary information on Australia's animal health status to support trade in animal commodities and meet Australia's international reporting obligations. It also provides information on Australia's capabilities and activities with regard to animal disease surveillance and control. The system has two major functional objectives:
- Collect relevant, existing summary data on animal health status from the Commonwealth Government, states and territories and selected non-government agencies as required by Animal Health Australia's Members.
- Collate, manage, analyse and report on data and information collected, to accurately reflect Australia's animal health status as well as its surveillance and disease control activities and capabilities.
The principle objective of the information system is to provide accurate information, through monitoring and surveillance, on animal health in Australia. Although this information can be used for a variety of purposes, it is particularly important in the areas of disease reporting, trade and market access. The type of data collected will change according to the requirements of the users of the system.
