Download AAWHG’s charter, code of conduct and strategic plan:
The national Australian Aviation Wildlife Hazard Group (AAWHG) grew from a meeting between the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and the Australasian Aviation Ground Safety Council (AAGSC) in 2003.
In 2010, the AAWHG was formally recognised as the primary aviation wildlife hazard management reference body in Australia. The AAWHG fulfils Australia’s commitment to have a national bird strike committee as recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) under Document 9137 Part 3, Bird control and reduction.
The group has met regularly since 2003, and its expanding membership includes multiple aviation industry stakeholders and organisations.
The AAWHG executive team, representing a range of these organisations, volunteer their expertise in the interests of improving aviation safety.
