Animal Health Australia minus the EFA
AHA (Animal Health Australia) is the leading authority on disease response in Australia, specifically through the AUSVETPLAN.
All states (inc ministers) have signed this agreement, including financial obligations. Government bodies DPI&F; animal industries (Australian Vet Association, Meat Board, Egg Board, etc). The horse industry is represented by Racing; and the Australian Horse Industry Council.
Can anyone explain why the EFA is not represented independantly on the AHA board or why the EFA is not a member of the Australian Horse Industry Council (that are represented on the board).
Our EFA represents a lot of members. It also handles Olympic disciplines and yet we are not represented directly or even indirectly with the AHA. How is this possible? I am sure that this situation will be rectified in the future (!) but I, as a member, am extremely surprised and very disappointed that my organisation is having absolutely no say in the Austvetplan or Animal Health Australia. Also consider, that the EFA has now had approx 6 weeks to get on board and be a part of this and yet have done nothing. The AHA and its board members are meeting over the next 2 days so who is representing us?
