AQUAVETPLAN - Control Centres Management Manual

The Control Centres Management Manual is an integral part of the Australian Aquatic Veterinary Emergency Plan (AQUAVETPLAN).

The manual outlines the organisational response during the investigational, alert, operational and stand-down phases of an emergency aquatic animal disease incident, addressing legislative, management and resource issues.

The manual lists the immediate duties of field officers, senior managers, the Chief Veterinary Officer (or Director of Fisheries where appropriate) and other staff in each phase.
