About AAHL: The Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL) is a national centre of excellence in disease diagnosis, research and policy advice in animal health. AAHL is a major facility of CSIRO Livestock Industries.
The national facility plays a vital role in maintaining the health of Australia's livestock, aquaculture species and wildlife.
AAHL opened in 1985 and is crucial in maintaining Australia's capability to quickly diagnose exotic (foreign) and emerging animal diseases. This is achieved through ongoing research programs to develop the most sensitive, accurate and timely diagnostic tests, which are critical to the success of any eradication campaign in the event of a disease outbreak.
AAHL also undertakes research to develop new diagnostic tests, vaccines and treatments for endemic animal diseases of national importance. Major diseases of livestock, aquaculture animals, and wildlife, are studied.
The facility includes a high-biocontainment area, to safely fulfill its major role of diagnosing emergency animal disease outbreaks.
