The organisational charts in appendices 2 and 3 show the primary roles normally expected to be filled in a significant animal disease response.

Of primary importance is that the roles are function based and hence the response will draw on people suitably qualified to undertake the individual positions. The positions or functions in the following are those where a veterinarian is required to fill the role, or where it may be advantageous for the role to be filled by a veterinarian. Where there are a number of positions within a section for which a veterinarian is not necessary, but may be advantageous, it is almost essential that at least some positions are filled by veterinarians to ensure that the appropriate level of technical, animal health expertise is available within the control centre and individual work sections.
