CHAIRMAN
Peter Milne, A.M
In this year’s Annual Report I’m going to talk
about our people right up front, so it’s clear and
unambiguous that our people are at the heart
of this organisation. Animal Health Australia’s
(AHA) Members, the executive team, staff and
the Board together constitute AHA and I have
appreciated the goodwill of each of these groups
throughout the year. Their dedication has ensured
the occasional issues that arose were quickly
resolved and helped AHA largely deliver on the
commitments in the 2016-17 Annual Operating Plan
(AOP).
• During the year, AHA made a greater
effort to induct and mentor new people in
the Members group, to ensure they were
quickly able to contribute at the Members’
Forums and other meetings, benefitting their
organisations, as well as AHA.
• In July, the Board worked with the executive
management team and staff in the
Reflections Workshop, which was all about
the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) process
that Kathleen Plowman has driven through
the company. A couple of things happened
that day; I became an M&E believer and I
appreciated the value of the model in use.
It reinforced to myself and other directors
how committed our people are to deliver
outcomes and value for our Members and for
the livestock industry.
• The Board acknowledged the performance
and achievements of our CEO Kathleen
Plowman in her first term in office, by
offering to renew her CEO contract. We were
thrilled by her acceptance of our offer and
note the continuation of significant progress
driven by Kathleen.
• In November 2016, at the Annual General
Meeting, three new directors were appointed
to the AHA Board, and they have settled into
their role well.
2
“We are about halfway
through AHA’s Strategic
Plan 2015-2020, and we
are well positioned to
ultimately deliver on
the Strategic Plan.”
• We are now almost half way through AHA’s fiveyear
Strategic Plan 2015-2020 (the Plan) and my
view is that we are well positioned to achieve
the outcomes spelt out in the Plan for these
priorities by 2020.
• Progress with delivering future financial
sustainability to AHA is going to be
much more challenging and yet it is
arguably the most important thing we
can do to really differentiate
AHA in 2020 from AHA in
2015. It’s the critical key to
allowing AHA to become
the organisation Members
planned for it to be two and
a half years ago.
I’m not suggesting it will be
easy, much of it is a stretch,
but on recent performance I am
very optimistic we will get there
in 2020. My thanks to everyone
for what has been achieved and
I look forward to working with
Members and the AHA team on the
opportunities and challenges ahead.
Note: The Annual Report Summary 2016-17 provides a
brief recap of AHA’s activities in the 2016-17 financial
year. The Annual Report 2016-17 will provide a more
detailed evaluation of AHA’s performance and will be
available early November.

CEO
Kathleen Plowman
This Annual Report marks the second year of the
Plan’s journey. In 2016, as part of our M&E process,
AHA evaluated its progress in implementing the
Plan by commissioning an independent provider
to undertake a regular, repeated survey of our
Members. Designed to help us better understand
how effective we are in performing our role, the
survey measured the extent AHA has delivered
value to our Members and what improvements
could be made.
Members believe that the concept of AHA is a
worthy cause and is a genuine attempt to enlist the
support of all stakeholders to protect and promote
animal health; that AHA provides the bridge that
facilitates trust and cooperation between industry
and government on animal health matters.
The Monitoring and Evaluation Report 2016-17
clearly shows that over the last two years we have
achieved a number of the Plan’s key outcomes; of
the 77 indicators, 41 (53%) are currently above their
2016-17 target, 27 (35%) are on target and 9 (12%)
are not on target. Critically, this snapshot enables
us to learn – to reflect and review - and adjust our
focus and resources accordingly to improve our
performance.
This past year has been rewarding for AHA and
our Members, with the delivery of a number of
successes that positively impact on our biosecurity
system. Key highlights include:
• Farm Biosecurity Project (FBP) awarded the
2017 Australian Biosecurity Award
• AHA celebrating its 20th birthday and 25 years
of AUSVETPLAN with Members and industry
champions alike
• implementation of an M&E process and
successful completion of a full 12 months of
reporting
• Members unanimously adopting changes for
AHA’s constitution
4
ANNUAL REPORT SUMMARY 2016-17
“AHA provides the bridge
that facilitates trust and
cooperation between
industry and government
on animal health matters.”
• performance of AHA meeting Members
requirements, as reflected in Member survey
and other feedback mechanisms
• all 15 industry Members having a biosecurity
manual in place
• a new version of the Emergency Animal
Disease Response Agreement (EADRA)
published three months ahead of schedule.
My sincere thanks to AHA’s Members for their
commitment and efforts which are reflected in
our successes. I also thank the Board, executive
team and staff for their continued support and
confidence; their professionalism, enthusiasm and
dedication to AHA and our Members is unwavering.
The company and staff are now well prepared
to progress to the next stage of AHA’s strategic
journey. Internal changes have led to the
development of more efficient systems and
processes, establishment of strong M&E practices,
improved services, reframed communication and
an enhanced company culture - all providing the
foundation to achieve the remaining outcomes of
the Plan.
The coming year continues to be demanding and
challenging but I am confident that together we can
continue to build on our successes and learnings
because together we can achieve more.

OVERVIEW
Tony Marks
Executive Manager Corporate and Member Services
AHA’s operating result was a surplus of
$1.8 million in 2016-17 against a budgeted deficit
($0.26 million). This better-than-budget outcome
has resulted equally from additional income of
$1.0 million over budget and expenditure being
$1.1 million less than budget.
1
Total income was $15.5 million,
exceeding the AOP budget of
$14.5 million by $1.0 million,
predominantly as a result of several
key factors. Firstly, the recognition
of the carrying value of Livestock Biosecurity
Network Pty Ltd (LBN) net assets of $0.45 million
for the 51% shareholding adopted by AHA.
Secondly, due to the recognition of $0.33 million
income for long-completed projects previously held
as unearned revenue. Thirdly, $0.22 million for a
range of additional revenues for gate signs, training
resources, AHA facilities hire and subscriptions for
private vets access to training and accreditation.
Levy income overall was in line with budget at
$6.9 million. EADRA levies received for laying and
meat chicken producers were slightly better than
budget at $0.47 million.
2
Total expenditure was
$13.7 million, being $1.1 million
below budget. A number of
projects have deferred deliverable
milestones throughout the year, or
did not commence, offset to a small degree by work
commenced on new projects.
AHA’s financial position has been strengthened
by the operating result with the balance sheet
showing equity at $16.4 million, up from
$14.6 million in 2015-16. This total AHA equity
balance is attributable to two distinct sources –
‘core’ operating surpluses since AHA’s inception of
$5.7 million and industry levies that have exceeded
6
“AHA’s financial position
has been strengthened by
the operating result...”
industry expenditure by $10.7 million. The individual
levy reserves are maintained according to industry
advice to AHA.
AHA’s total assets of $25.1 million is comprised of
$19.3 million in cash and investments. This balance
is invested across a minimum of two ‘AAA’ rated
banks and products with an appropriate spread of
maturity dates to meet AHA’s planned and unplanned
requirements.
AHA’s liabilities of $3.5 million includes GST and
accounts payable of $1.3 million and accruals of
$2.2 million. The substantial amount of accrued
expenses relates to the sample collection and
laboratory costs for NAMP and TSEFAP where work
undertaken for the disease cycles in the financial year
isn’t finalised until several months after the end of
the cycle.
Provisions for annual and long service leave and
salary related payables amounts to $0.37 million.
Unearned revenue of $4.8 million represents the
balance of cash received by AHA, primarily from
government Members, for which project milestones
have not yet been delivered, and therefore not yet
recognised as revenue in the income statement.
3
Core subscriptions increased for
the first time in six years in 2016-17,
by 6% upon the recommendation
of Members at the November 2015
Members Forum, at which it was
highlighted the importance of properly resourcing
AHA’s core programs.

been closely monitored and evaluated to ensure we
embrace a results-based culture, from which we can
learn and grow.1
