National Significant Disease Investigation Program

The National Significant Disease Investigation Program (NSDIP) provides funding to veterinary practitioners to investigate and report on significant disease events in wildlife and livestock. The NSDI Program is managed nationally by Animal Health Australia (AHA).

In Queensland, subsidies are available to veterinary practitioners who investigate and report on significant disease incidents in wildlife.

Disease investigation subsidies are available for:

• field or clinical work (e.g. clinical evaluation and/or necropsy, collection of diagnostic samples)
• laboratory diagnostic work
• follow-up field investigation, if required.

Eligibility

You are eligible to participate in the program if you are a registered non-government veterinarian engaged in clinical veterinary medicine, including in:

• university clinics
