Thank you to our community for your support throughout 2025.

Wishing everyone a safe and restful end-of-year break.

Our AMR Seminar recap is out!

So many great ideas and insights shared, and you can read the full summary here: ciidir.com.au/news/2025/11...

#WAAW2025 #AntimicrobialResistance #CIIDIR #GoBlueForAMR

Curious about what the future of antibiotics, diagnostics, and treatment decisions looks like?

Join us this Thursday, 20 Nov 12PM-2PM at HERB, 285-299 Ryrie St, Geelong, 3220 as experts explore emerging ideas helping us protect the medicines we rely on. #AntimicrobialResistance #WAAW #AMR #Deakin

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is growing, infections are getting harder to treat, and the risk keeps rising.

Join us this Nov 20 (12–2 PM, HERB Geelong) for our AMR Seminar to learn how resistance develops and how we can fight back.

Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future.
