Arbovirus and malaria surveillance

Welcome to the Australian Government Arbovirus and Malaria Surveillance Website - an initiative of the National Arbovirus and Malaria Advisory Committee (NAMAC)

This website is a joint Australian Government, State and Territory initiative, which has been created to assist health authorities in the reduction of arboviral and malarial diseases by:

• rapid and greater dissemination of national arbovirus and malaria surveillance data;
  
• transfer of interpretations of these data and support information between health authorities;
  
• aiding early recognition of unusual mosquito, arbovirus and malaria activity;
  
• provide access for the general public to arbovirus and malaria surveillance information; and
  
• increasing public awareness of the potential mosquito-borne disease risks in their region.

Importantly, this website will draw together and share arbovirus and malaria surveillance intelligence from across Australia, forming a valuable public health tool.
