Health impacts of indoor air quality – Issues paper

The Australian Centre for Disease Control is working with researchers, governments, peak bodies, industry and the community to inform action on the health impacts of poor indoor air quality.

Over the next 12 months, the CDC will focus on exploring health-based national indoor air quality goals, developing policy options for key settings, and releasing public guidance on ways to improve indoor air quality.

The CDC anticipates public consultation will take place between April and June 2027 focusing on exploring health-based national indoor air quality goals.

We welcome engagement on this important public health issue. Contact the Health and indoor air quality team for more information about ongoing work to support healthier indoor air for Australian communities.
