West Arnhem Shire engaged AMRRIC, as consultants, to undertake the development of their 2009-2013 Animal Welfare and Control Program Framework.

The University of Sydney’s Faculty of Veterinary Science is conducting the Healthy Dogs Healthy Communities Research Project funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Grant. This project aims to investigate the impact of culturally appropriate information and training on dog health and welfare in rural and remote Indigenous communities.Animal Management in Rural and Remote Aboriginal Communities Incorporated (AMRRIC) is a project supporter and partner.

Minjalang community is located on Croker Island, north east of the Coburg Peninsula, West Arnhem Shire. With a population of approximately 300 people it is the most northerly inhabited part of the Northern Territory. There was an “urgent “ problem of “skinny, mangey dogs seen around the school”. This resulted in a decision by the Shire to carry out an Ivermectin program, with a concurrent  census and injectable dog population control program as soon as possible.
