OneHealth@AdelaideUniversity (OH@AU) will unite expertise across all disciplines through a transdisciplinary and intersectoral approach to address complex and emerging challenges spanning the health of humans, animals and the environment.
Our vision is for a healthy, resilient world for all living things and their environments.
Our mission is to promote and advance impactful education, research, and practical applications in the field of One Health.
OH@AU follows the definition of One Health provided by the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP, 2024)
“One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent.”
One Health is the interconnection of human, animal and environmental health.
Our role is to coordinate, promote, and facilitate One Health activities in collaboration with stakeholders.
