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

Surveillance (cont.)
Antibiotic usage report by APVMA
587 tonnes per a year 2005 – 2010
Usage levels per animal similar to Finland and lower than Denmark

Veterinary prescription required
Fluoroquinolones not used in food producing animals in Australia
Only one third generation cephalosporin injectable available for food animals

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 :
