Working together for greater outcomes

23 September 2024

Our Animal Management Program team performed a community-wide biosecurity census in Ramingining and Galiwin'ku to target animal health concerns and keep an eye out for any potential biosecurity threats. 

To conduct the biosecurity census the East Arnhem Regional Council Animal Management Program team partnered with AMRRIC - Animal Management in Rural & Remote Indigenous Communities and ASRAC - Arafura Swamp Rangers Aboriginal Corporation in Ramingining and Marthakal Rangers in Galiwin'ku.


Working together they visited all homes in both Communities to count and assess the health of the dogs and cats and administer parasite preventatives. This census will help the East Arnhem Regional Council's Animal Management Program team to target animal health concerns and keep an eye out for any potential biosecurity threats.


A special thanks to the communities of Ramingining and Galiwin'ku and AMRRIC, ASRAC and Marthakal Rangers. By working together, we were able to achieve greater outcomes for the communities.
