With a focus on safeguarding livestock producers and enhancing the resilience of Australia’s agricultural sector, AHA plays a crucial role in advocating for, driving, and implementing solutions that protect animal health and biosecurity.
Through a collaborative approach with its diverse membership groups, AHA manages over 50 national programs aimed at improving animal health, biosecurity, market access, livestock welfare, productivity, and food safety. The organization’s commitment to shaping a better future, fostering partnerships, and embracing innovation underscores its dedication to advancing livestock health issues of collective interest.
