Australia is continuing to respond to outbreaks of HPAI (H7 strains), which was first detected on a property in Victoria on 22 May 2024. As at 5 July 2024, HPAI (H7 strains) has now been detected on eight poultry properties in Victoria; two in New South Wales; and one in the Australian Capital Territory. Further information can be found on the following websites:

  • For information relating to VIC: Victorian Government Agriculture Department website
  • For information relating to NSW: NSW Government Department of Primary Industries website
  • For information relating to the ACT: Avian Influenza - Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate - Environment (act.gov.au)
  • For information additional information: Australian National Pest and Disease Outbreaks website

Certificate changes

Further to MAA 2024-20, some importing country requirements have changed in relation to HPAI. Please refer bolded entries in Attachment 1 for these changes.

Singapore

The Singapore Food Agency has confirmed the following arrangements for the export of poultry and poultry products (including eggs):

For all poultry and poultry products (including eggs) that are sourced from outside Control Areas in each jurisdiction, exports can commence without slaughter/export date restrictions.

For all poultry and poultry products (including eggs) that are sourced from within Control Areas exporters must ensure that product complies with the slaughter and export dates for the relevant Control Area.

Up to date information on the location of Control Areas can be found on the following state/territory websites:

  • For information relating to VIC: Victorian Government Agriculture Department website
  • For information relating to NSW: NSW Government Department of Primary Industries website
  • For information relating to the ACT: Avian Influenza - Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate - Environment (act.gov.au)
  • For information additional information: Australian National Pest and Disease Outbreaks website

Up to date information on slaughter and export dates for specific Control Areas can be found at the following website, noting this information is up to date at 4 July 2024.

Singapore Food Agency - list of suspended zones

Currently there are multiple control areas throughout Victoria, NSW and the ACT. More control areas may be established if there are further HPAI detections. It is the exporter’s responsibility to monitor and confirm control and restricted areas prior to export to ensure product meets importing country requirements.

MICOR will be updated to reflect these changes.
