About us

This website is a joint initiative by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. It provides information on and raises awareness about antimicrobial resistance.

The Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry are working together to implement the National Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy – 2020 and Beyond.

The National AMR Strategy guides Australia's efforts across human and animal health, as well as food, agriculture and environment sectors to:

  • minimise the development and spread of AMR
  • ensure all sectors work together to reduce antimicrobial use
  • review and report on AMR progress.
