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”
