The team brought together expertise from across Australia on animal health, biosecurity, conservation sciences, social sciences, behavioural psychology, law, policy and economic analyses and drew on a series of multi-stakeholder workshops held in 2020.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The study comprehensively identifies the key risks for spill-over of pathogens with pandemic potential in Australia. Findings show that the country has a strong biosecurity regime for specific known risks but lacks adequate responses to both unknown biosecurity risks and to broader risks posed by, for instance, land clearing and climate change. It also details how a One Health approach is emerging in national policies and what reforms are required to improve pandemic risk management through such an approach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One Health in the Australian context was conceptualised using the definition from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woah.org\/en\/what-we-do\/global-initiatives\/one-health\/#ui-id-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff4815;\">One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #ff4815;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2014launched<\/span><\/span> last year by the World Organisation for Animal Health, along with its Quadripartite partners\u2014notably (a) requiring \u2018deep prevention\u2019 policies that address the environmental factors that increase pandemic potential (b) meaningfully incorporating the perspectives and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
