One Health requires a collaborative approach. To improve health, it’s vital that we all work together.
The One Health approach can help address many health concerns in our communities. This includes collaborative efforts to prevent and reduce the impact of harmful illnesses, like antimicrobial resistance and bird flu.
The interim Australian Centre for Disease Control is leading the way for One Health in Australia.
Our newly established One Health Unit works with experts in many fields at the national, state and territory levels.
This includes First Nations organisations, peak industry bodies and the research sector – with a unifying ambition to improve health outcomes for people, animals and ecosystems.
The impact of decisions in one sector can have positive or negative consequences for another.
Our One Health approach aims to holistically tackle problems from all directions to get the best outcomes for all.
