Specialists in proficiency testing for terrestrial animal health laboratories.
The Australian National Quality Assurance Program (ANQAP) is an international proficiency testing program for veterinary health laboratories. The major focus of the program is to provide proficiency testing for veterinary tests associated with disease control programs, quarantine and export health certification. The history section of this website contains more details. We are hosted by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) – Agriculture Victoria Research Division, located at AgriBio Centre in Victoria, Australia.
The program currently offers 36 different tests used for the diagnosis of diseases in the areas of veterinary serology, virology and bacteriology. The program has approximately 20 veterinary laboratories participating from Australia and New Zealand.
The National Plant Health Proficiency Testing Program (NPHPTP) is not currently being offered through ANQAP.
