Stakeholder Engagement Registration: Development of an Australian National Campylobacter Action Plan

Overview

Why your views matter

Campylobacterosis is the leading cause of bacterial foodborne illness in Australia.

To address this, the Food Regulation System has endorsed the development of a five-year Australian National Campylobacter Action Plan as part of the Strategic Plan for 2025–2028.

This national action plan will provide an integrated and coordinated approach to reducing the risks of campylobacteriosis across the Australian food supply chain.

For the plan to be effective, it requires a whole-of-system approach - including during development - involving multiple sectors across food and public health systems. Both public and private sectors will play a key role in its success.

An Implementation Subcommittee for Food Regulation working group has been formed to carry out this work, led by FSANZ and Safe Food Production Queensland. The group is now commencing the development phase and invite all interested stakeholders to register their interest to receive updates and contribute to this important work.
