Working Together for Healthy Animals and Communities

Strengthening Animal Welfare Across West Daly

Council continues its animal management program through its partnership with AMRRIC, delivering veterinary services and community engagement to support the health, wellbeing and safety of animals and communities.

From 1–5 December, AMRRIC veterinarians visited Wadeye to complete a census and undertake door-to-door non-surgical services. This work builds on ongoing animal management efforts delivered across the region. Dogs and other companion animals play an important role in community life, and these programs help address issues such as overpopulation, disease and animal welfare.

Council staff worked alongside AMRRIC veterinary teams during clinics, supporting community engagement and gaining valuable experience in animal welfare and management.



To manage seasonal challenges, future programs will be scheduled between May and September, with fly-in and fly-out services used where required. Information gathered through recent activities will directly inform planning for a coordinated 2026 animal management program across the entire region.
