Vet Watch

A new e-bulletin for Victorian Veterinarians containing information about animal disease surveillance – trends and early warning. Early detection and a rapid, planned response are key to effective biosecurity emergency management. Victoria needs comprehensive, flexible and sensitive systems in place to accurately and efficiently monitor disease and pest situations across the state. Veterinarians play an integral role in Victoria’s surveillance system.
