We welcome the federal government’s commitment to establishing an Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC). It’s essential this independent CDC tackles AMR and other critical One Health challenges.

Read the AMA's One Health position statement: www.ama.com.au/articles/one...

The AMA’s One Health position statement highlights this vital link, recognising that threats like antimicrobial resistance (AMR) undermine healthcare systems, food safety, and contribute to millions of deaths globally each year.

If you or someone you know is in crisis and needs urgent support:

• Lifeline – 13 11 14
• Suicide Call Back Service – 1300 659 467

#worldsuicidepreventionday is a call to shift from silence and stigma to openness, empathy and action, to ensure those who are struggling feel heard, supported, and connected. Together, we can help create a future where more lives are saved and more stories are shared.

In Australia, suicide remains the leading cause of death among people aged 15–44.

AMA ACT President Dr Kerrie Aust was also present saying "We want kids and young people playing sport and having their heroes without a constant stream of gambling advertising."
