Emergency Animal Disease Response Agreement (EADRA)

The Emergency Animal Disease Response Agreement (EADRA) is a coordinated plan among Australian livestock industries and government agencies to quickly and effectively respond to major animal disease outbreaks. It outlines shared responsibilities, resources, and strategic actions necessary to control and eradicate diseases like foot-and-mouth disease or bird flu. The goal is to protect animal health, safeguard the economy, and ensure rapid recovery by working together seamlessly, minimizing impacts on farmers, the supply chain, and the community.
