The 2023 Animal Emergency Incident Management Network - Australia New Zealand (AEIMN-ANZ) was held recently at the New South Wales Emergency Services Academy in Penrith.

It was a unique event with an inter-agency mix of veterinarians, emergency service providers, government agencies, non-profit animal organisations and training providers - all working with the shared vision of developing safer practices for animal emergency incident management in Australia and New Zealand.

Topics covered included;
- Responding to animals impacted by cyclones & earthquakes.
- The anatomy of a lifting operation incl. rescuing a rider trapped beneath a horse.
- Rescue of horses and cattle from rising flood waters.

The Trust was represented by well-known Otago equine veterinarian and Trustee Dr Peter Gillespie. 

Peter was invited to speak on the safe transportation of injured horses, using race-day situations and veterinary-requested transport assistance as examples.

Members of Massey University’s Veterinary Emergency Response Team (VERT) were also in attendance.

The Trust is currently in discussions with Fire & Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) to develop a coordinated inter-agency programme with the aim of expanding technical large animal rescue (TLAR) capabilities throughout Aotearoa. #WatchThisSpace
