National Management Group Training

National Management Group (NMG), the key decision-making body during cost-shared responses to animal health emergencies in Australia (i.e. they only convene should an Emergency Animal Disease Response Plan recommended by the Consultative Committee on Emergency Animal Diseases contain cost-sharing).

NMG training is targeted at high-level industry and government members who have the authority to make financial commitments to a cost-shared EAD response. These include Chief Executive Officers and presidents (or equivalent) and their advisors.

Having completed the training, personnel who represent their agency or organisation should:

• be prepared to participate as (or advise and support) a member of the NMG.
• understand their respective roles and responsibilities as signatories to the EADRA.

NMG training is delivered each year during AHA’s Engagement Week in March or September, in a face-to-face, scenario-based workshop format.
