The Senior Policy Officer will develop, coordinate, and deliver regulatory and policy inputs into Agriculture Victoria's Exotic Disease Animal Preparedness Program, particularly in relation to implications on animal welfare during an emergency animal disease (EAD) response.

The role will also include working closely with other areas of government to ensure intersections with other legislation are understood and considered in the preparation for a response.
