22.01.2022 This animation has been developed by AMRRIC to improve knowledge & awareness of Ehrlichiosis, a Tick Borne Disease which was first detected in Australian in May 2020. This disease is carried by Brown Dog Ticks, infects dogs & can have significant impacts of the health of dogs & potentially humans. This resource outlines how Ehrlichiosis is transmitted, the signs of sickness that it causes and provides advice on treating and managing this disease. The animation is relevant for all ages.

15.01.2022 #Reconcilliation week is wrapping up but AMRRIC's commitment to genuine and empowering partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continues... no matter the date. One such recent partnership was our collaboration with rangers Tye and Floyd from Nindilingarri Cultural Health Services Environmental Health Program at the Halls Creek Veterinary Blitz. Tye and Floyd, pictured here along with Shire of Halls Creek ranger Emily, performed a vital role liaising with local community members, promoting desexing of their animals and transporting animals to and from the pop-up veterinary clinic. With their skills and knowledge in animal handling and their passion for their work, Tye and Floyd were integral to the success of the desexing blitz. Keen to hear more about the Halls Creek Blitz? Stay tuned for an update this weekend! #workingtogether #NRW2021 #MoreThanAWord

13.01.2022 Our children need to be born healthy so they have strong spirits and strong minds When you drink alcohol, so does your baby. When you use drugs, so does your... baby. When you smoke, so does your baby. It’s important to say no to alcohol when you’re pregnant. If you’re pregnant and not ready to tell anyone, here are a few helpful things to say to avoid alcohol when catching up with friends: No, thank you, I’m not drinking tonight. No, thank you, I have to drive. I have a big day/early meeting tomorrow so no thanks. I’m not feeling the best so would rather not, thanks. There is no safe amount of alcohol and other drug use in pregnancy.
