New pandemic management plan for Australia

The Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing has published new pandemic planning guidelines. The ‘Australian Health Management Plan for Pandemic Influenza’ is an update on similar guidance published in 2006.

The assumptions about what the next pandemic might look like and the likely effectiveness of different interventions have been reviewed, and in some cases revised in light of new evidence.

More details and downloadable PDF copy of the guidance.
