The three most active and influential organisations working at the intersection of community health and safety and companion animal welfare and management are combining forces to deliver a never seen before event. This conference and workshops will be a celebration of collaboration, reconnection, and knowledge sharing and builds on the work of the organisations convening the event.
The theme for this year’s conference is Breaking Down Barriers.
In 2023 we will focus on the programs, practices and strategies that involve and engage the community in managing their pets. We will be looking at the role that organisations play in providing support to both companion animals and the people who care for them.
What are the barriers to positive results in the work that is undertaken? What can be done to reduce or remove those barriers? How can we engage the broader community with companion animal management and the problems that face the sector and those that work in the space? How can the issue of companion animal management and sheltering be looked at from a broader, social, ethical and One Health perspective? How can we empower pet lovers, owners, carers and those without pets to be a part of the solutions?
These, and many more questions relating to social change, community safety and welfare, animal management and welfare, emergency management and responsible pet ownership will be discussed at this event.
Attend sessions incorporating practical training delivered by experts in the field. Industry and sector leaders from Australia and overseas will lead sessions to explore innovative solutions to guide Australia’s approach to the management of companion animals now and into the future while providing insights on how the challenges are being met elsewhere.
Attendance at this conference is essential for everyone involved in companion animal and community health and safety policy and practice, including those working in all levels of government, the not-for-profit welfare, shelter and rescue sector, the research, academic and veterinary professions, and the pet industry.
This event also provides an important opportunity for partnership-building across these sectors to achieve positive, economical and humane outcomes.
You also have the opportunity to participate in day long Workshops covering Animal Management, Shelter Medicine and Dog Bite Investigations (this Workshop also has an online access registration option).
These Workshops provide a more in depth look at these areas of interest and are held on Friday 13/10/23. Registration is an additional fee to the Summit registration for AIAM non-members and is free for AIAM Members.
