For Immediate Release

Nauru not affected by recent avian influenza outbreak in Victoria, Australia

 

The Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness has confirmed the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H7N3) on a commercial egg laying farm in southwest Victoria, near Geelong. A second Victorian poultry farm in the Terang region has also been confirmed to have avian influenza. The affected properties have been placed under quarantine.

 

Nauru is not affected by this H7N3 avian influenza as advised by the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF).

 

Nauru is not in danger of this outbreak. Our current frozen chicken supply and eggs are safe. The Government and Ministry of Health will keep the public informed.

 

Pacific nations affected by this outbreak are French Polynesia, Kiribati, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.

                                                                                                      

Certification is temporarily suspended for all Australian products to affected countries and will be updated as changes occur.

 

The Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has reviewed all health certification for poultry meat and meat products, eggs, egg products and inedible products and placed a temporary suspension on certification for affected products effective from today, Friday 24 May 2024.

 

Australian exporters are advised to note that product recently exported on affected health certificates that have not arrived at the port of entry and cleared customs are at commercial risk. Exporters should work with their importer to ensure importing country requirements continue to be met to manage commercial risk.

 

The Nauru Government and the Ministry of Health are working closely with importers and the Australian Government to ensure the safety of imported poultry goods to Nauru.
