Objective One of the National Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Strategy – 2020 and Beyond establishes the national governance arrangements and how we will work together to combat AMR.
While the Australian Government continues to lead a coordinated national response, we all have a role to play to reduce AMR. Being clear about governance and expectations will help us to understand our roles.
Why is this important?
Reducing AMR is a shared responsibility across public and private sectors in Australia in the fields of human and animal health, agriculture, food and the environment.
The urgent challenge of AMR requires commitment to action from all sectors. Action plans will guide responses and help to measure success.
