1.14: Pandemic Planning

Guide and support integrated contingency planning for an influenza pandemic to minimise the impact on the ACT community.

Other Information:

In December 2007 the ACT Government released the ACT Pandemic Planning Framework. The aim of the framework is to guide and support integrated contingency planning for an influenza pandemic to minimise the impact on the ACT community. ACT Health proactively monitors, develops and revises current policy and strategic operational planning for an influenza pandemic. Under the ACT Pandemic Planning Framework, ACT Health developed the Australian Capital Territory Health Management Plan for Pandemic Influenza 2007, which details the health sector’s capacity to respond in the event of an influenza pandemic. ACT Health will continue its operational planning in line with national policy to prevent and manage an influenza pandemic and its consequences in the ACT.
