Undergraduate students enrolled in the One Health unit have created communication tools to increase awareness about a variety of One Health topics, including antimicrobial resistance, zoonotic diseases and ecotoxicology. On November 3rd, a conference style presentation session has been organised. Each student group will present their communication tool, who the target audience is, why they chose their particular tool and expected outcomes, for example increased awareness or reduction of the disease in the target group.

This event, aimed at the general public, will showcase how researchers in Geelong are undertaking collaborative research to protect people, animals and the environment from infectious diseases.
