Animal Health Australia (AHA) has held its 27th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and welcomed two new Board Directors, Lucinda Corrigan and Stuart Crockett, farewelled outgoing Board Directors Paula Fitzgerald and Catherine Cooper, and re-elected Sharon Starick as Chair.

CEO of Animal Health Australia, Kathleen Plowman, has congratulated the two new Directors on their
election, who will bring new knowledge, experiences, and connections to our already existing and qualified Board.

“Lucinda and Stuart bring a wealth of experience to the Board at a time where innovation, transformative
thinking and network connecting is a must for our organisation.

“I also want to thank Paula and Catherine for their invaluable contributions during their time on the board, ensuring AHA has not only remained viable but grown and prospered over the past four to six years since they joined us.”

NSW Riverina local, Lucinda Corrigan joins the board as an experienced non-executive director with a
speciality in livestock breeding and genetics and has extensive networks and an outstanding reputation in
the livestock sector.

“I am looking forward to joining AHA at a time of increased biosecurity challenges and climate change
adding to that complexity.

“Australia has an amazing record of doing biosecurity well; with increasing urbanisation and global trade the risk has increased and strong partnerships throughout government, industry and the AHA members will mitigate that increasing risk,” she said.

WA local, Stuart Crocket joins the board with an extensive trade and investment background having worked in Australia, the UK, USA and China in various roles for the public and private sectors and has worked as a senior leader with one of WA’s largest protein producers and exporters, Craig Mostyn Group.

“As an exporter and promoter of Australia’s food products throughout the world I am extremely proud to
join the board of AHA.

“Australia’s significant credentials in biosecurity management are world’s best practise and I look forward to helping ensure all global supply chains are prepared for any issues that may arise.

“I have spent a significant part of my life in advocating roles and together with AHA Board Directors, staff
and members wants to ensure Australia’s gold standard biosecurity measures are maintained and
shared. AHA is a peak body in biosecurity preparedness and I look forward to trying to enhance that
position even further,” he said.

At the AGM, AHA also welcomed back Zoo and Aquariums Australia as an associate member and warmly
welcomed brand new associate member Stock Feed Manufacturers Council of Australia, which now means
AHA is representing a total of 35 government, livestock industry and research members and associate
members.
