National Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy

 

The One Health Master Action Plan to support Australia’s National Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy – 2020 and Beyond (Master Action Plan) is now available on the Australian Government One Health antimicrobial resistance (AMR) website.

While Australia’s National Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy – 2020 and Beyond (the 2020 AMR Strategy) presents Australia’s 20-year vision to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the Master Action Plan provides the guidance to implement its objectives over the next five years.

To effectively tackle AMR we need a ‘One Health’ approach: coordinated effort and action across the animal and human health, environment, agricultural and food sectors.

You may wish to consider developing action plans within your own organisations, following the guidance of the 2020 AMR Strategy and Master Action Plan, to highlight what steps your organisation is taking to help combat the threat of AMR.
