Our Work

Our greatest strength is our ability to engage a large and varied group of stakeholders, many of whom may have valuable information, expertise and experience with wildlife health issues, and can participate in discussions on these issues through WHA.

Foot-and-mouth disease information

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is not present in Australia. However outbreaks of FMD have recently been reported in livestock in Indonesia including Bali. 

Foot-and-mouth disease is a nationally notifiable disease which means if you suspect an animal is showing signs of the diseases, you must report it. You can do this by contacting your local veterinarian or call the national Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

WHA has developed an information sheet on FMD in relation to Australian native species, feral and zoo animals. Click here to download the document.
