• Members unanimously adopting changes for AHA’s constitution • performance of AHA meeting Members requirements, as reflected in Member survey and other feedback mechanisms • all 15 industry Members having a biosecurity manual in place • a new version of the Emergency Animal Disease Response Agreement (EADRA) published three months ahead of schedule. My sincere thanks to AHA’s Members for their commitment and efforts which are reflected in our successes. I also thank the Board, executive team and staff for their continued support and confidence; their professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication to AHA and our Members is unwavering. The company and staff are now well prepared to progress to the next stage of AHA’s strategic journey. Internal changes have led to the development of more efficient systems and processes, establishment of strong M&E practices, improved services, reframed communication and an enhanced company culture - all providing the foundation to achieve the remaining outcomes of the Plan. Over the next three years, AHA will be focusing on increasing its leadership, influence and nimbleness in the Australian animal health system, to establish itself as the ‘go-to’ organisation for information, expertise and project initiatives on biosecurity, surveillance and emergency animal disease (EAD) information and training. AHA will also continue its efforts to improve service innovation and systems to evolve its collaborations and relationships, to investigate business opportunities for sustainability and to enhance the animal health biosecurity system, all the while continuing to strengthen our much valued existing partnerships ensuring maximum leverage. The coming year continues to be demanding and challenging but I am confident that together we can continue to build on our successes and learnings, because together we can achieve more. 10 NEW PROJECTS IN 2016-17 3% 17% PROJECTS NOT STARTED (Due to funds not obtained/projects reprioritised by funders) 5% PROJECT DELIVERABLES STILL IN PROGRESS $1.7m ADDITIONAL PROJECT REVENUE SOURCED 77% PROJECT DELIVERABLES MET PROJECTS STOPPED PROJECT SUMMARY 16-17 2.5% INCREASE IN CORE PROJECT FUNDING FOR THE 2017-18 AOP ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 9
