R U OK? Day 2026 Its not just today, but it IS a good reminder to check in on a mate, colleague, associate, your kids, your partner, your family...or anyone you feel might need it. You don’t have to use the words, ‘are you OK?’ – you can start any way that feels right to you. Its ok not to be ok.

Our Emma Zalcman is working with SPC to improve Pacific passive HPAI surveillance. There are no cases of H5 bird flu in the Southern Pacific but authorities remain on high alert with recent detections in Aus & NZ & the potential for introduction through pelagic sea birds. #surveillance #biosecurity

Outbreak Readiness with Epidemiology Advanced diagnostics demand modern response frameworks. During a major outbreak, traditional contact tracing isn't enough. Epidemiology—analysing pathogen pathways—is vital for tracing transmission chains, pinpointing sources, and assessing real-time risks.

Information Systems & Offshore Biosecurity Protecting Australia means supporting regional neighbours. Transboundary diseases don't stop at borders. Ausvet helps strengthen Australia's biosecurity by building operational capacity & implementing digital health systems across the Indo-Pacific.

National biosecurity is only as strong as its most remote location - it needs local action. Partnerships with the Cattle Industry Funding Scheme & the Kimberley Pilbara Cattlemen's Association, means we work alongside pastoralists, tackling on-the-ground challenges & enhancing biosecurity practices.

#AMR2026Sydney The person wearing the shoe knows where it pinches. The AMR gap is scientific, financial and political. Only 7% of global R&D funding in LMIC goes to research. We diagnose the problem but must fund the fix and measure impact. Sustainability should be country-led not donor dependent.
