Animal Management in Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities (AMRRIC) is an Australian organisation that works alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to coordinate and facilitate sustainable, culturally-sensitive, professional animal health programs. AMRRIC supports desexing and dog health programs to improve the situation for dogs, their owners and communities on the whole. By improving the health and welfare of companion animals in a community, AMRRIC’s animal health programs contribute to improved community health. AMRRIC works with a range of stakeholders and partners, it trains locally employed Animal Management Workers, provides education programs and supports research into disease and disease prevention. AMRRIC is a non-profit organisation that is based in Darwin and works nationally across Australia. AMRRIC receives funding from the Australian Federal Government, Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and from the Northern Territory Government. The organisation is not entirely government funded and it seeks private and philanthropic donations. ==Activities== AMRRIC is an independent organisation working in all areas of animal management in remote communities, including dog health and welfare, policy, research, education and capacity building. AMRRIC runs programs which address animal management in a way which is sustainable, culturally sensitive and agreed upon by all parties. AMRRIC has a range of programs and projects they include: * Dog health programs which are veterinarian-led desexing programs, including anti-parasite treatment. The program reduces the problems associated with large unmanaged populations of dogs, this includes zoonotic diseases and roaming packs of dogs which show threatening behaviour towards or attacks on humans * Animal Management Worker program which provides training, resources and employment to local Indigenous people that enables them to take responsibility for their animals’ health and welfare. Animal Management Workers assist in the running of dog health programs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AMRRIC « The Veterinarian Magazine )〕 * Education programs designed for Indigenous school students, community members, environmental health practitioners, animal management workers and government and non-government organisations about all aspects of animal health and welfare in remote Indigenous communities.
