Communicable Diseases Network Australia, communicable disease surveillance, communicable disease controlAbstract
This is the first annual report of the Communicable Diseases Network Australia (CDNA). CDNA is a subcommittee of the Australian Health Protection Committee.In Australia, although the surveillance and prevention of communicable diseases is largely the legislative responsibility of the states and territories, a nationally consistent approach to communicable disease management is obviously desirable. This report aims to highlight the communicable disease challenges that Australia faces, and the integral role the Communicable Diseases Network Australia (CDNA) plays in providing a cohesive national response to these threats.
