Surveillance
$ 11 million from the Commonwealth Government
AMR surveillance and usage monitoring
Several surveys performed over the years –low levels of AMR both human and animal
Work is ongoing to build a repeatable survey based on existing systems in agriculture and human health

ConclusionAustralia has stringent antimicrobial controls , and we are in a strong position
More data on AMR required, and we are addressing this.
With continued positive collaboration with agriculture, health, government and industry
We will achieve our stated One Health goal :
“To slow the development and spread of AMR and conserve the effectiveness of antimicrobials”
