Animal Health Australia (AHA) is conducting public consultation relating to the development of the Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines for the Land Transport of Livestock (‘Land Transport Standards'), and its associated Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS).

DAFF and AHA are particularly interested to hear if you believe the following two issues are satisfied (click below to download full document):
