This document summarizes the implementation of Australia's National Preparedness Plan for animal disease outbreaks. It outlines the emergency response management structure from the national to local levels. It emphasizes the importance of preparedness planning through standardized operational procedures, job descriptions for responders, and pre-contracting support services. It also stresses using trained professionals and humane culling techniques like anoxia over untrained workers. A key point is the need to match culling and disposal capacities to control outbreaks within 48 hours.
