EARC wins National Award for outstanding Animal Management Program

October 13, 2023

This week our Veterinarian/Animal Control Manager Dr Madeleine Kelso attended the 'Big Hairy People and Pets Summit & Workshops' on the Gold Coast. The conference was organised by the Australian Institute of Animal Management, G2Z and AMRRIC. 


The theme of the conference was 'Breaking Down Barriers' with international speakers talking about many topics including community engagement, supporting disadvantaged pet owners keeping themselves and their pets healthy and dog behaviour and aggression. 


East Arnhem Regional Council are thrilled to announce that our program won the award for best 'Regional and Remote Animal Management Program or Initiative'. This is a nationally recognised award from the Australian Institute of Animal Management and the team is so proud of the work they do to help our families and their animals in the East Arnhem region. 

Congratulations to Dr Maddy and the committed and hardworking EARC Animal Management team and local community staff on this prestigious award. Dr Maddy is pictured here with Brooke Rankmore CEO AMRRIC presenting her with the award at the conference.


We would also like to take this opportunity to thank local collaboration partners of the program, the East Arnhem Local Authorities, the Anindilyakwa Land Council, Miwatj Health, and the various homeland organisations.
