Disease surveillance

Where to find current data on vaccine-preventable diseases

Find official Victorian and Australian reports, national notification data and FluTracking community surveys.

Read the period and the measure

Open the original report to check its publication date, reporting period and methods. Notifications, symptoms, hospitalisations and deaths measure different things. Reporting delays and revisions can change the figures. Population data cannot diagnose symptoms or determine your personal risk.

Influenza (flu)

Follow influenza activity through respiratory reports, national notifications and community symptom surveys.

Reading this information

Compare the same period and measure. Symptoms reported to a survey are not all confirmed influenza infections.
