The importance of ‘disease detectives’
Last Friday was World Field Epidemiology Day. It is an annual day to acknowledge the vital role field epidemiologists play protecting communities from public health threats. These threats primarily relate to infectious diseases.
Public consultation to guide how we use health data
At the interim Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC), we are committed to protecting the health of Australians by developing effective and ethical data practices. As part of this commitment, we are launching a public consultation to gather feedback on how we should use health data.
Understanding the interim CDC’s One Health approach
