The Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC) works to protect Australia from public health threats through disease surveillance, expert analysis and trusted information. It brings together experts, data and evidence to provide independent public health advice that informs government decisions on preventing and controlling diseases and preparing for future health threats. The CDC’s work is guided by the One Health approach, which recognises the connection between the health of people, animals and the environment. It focuses on reducing risks posed by communicable diseases, climate change and environmental factors. The CDC provides financial support for the Environmental Health Portal.
