Central West NSW towns are now listed as High Risk LGAs for mosquito-borne Japanese Encephalitis.

_____

The Japanese encephalitis vaccine is safe and effective for people aged 2 months and older. Vaccination is recommended for those at the highest risk of catching Japanese encephalitis.​

Once fully vaccinated, it can take between 2 to 4 weeks for your body to develop a protective immune response to the disease, so if you’re eligible, you should get vaccinated as soon as possible.

NSW Health is advising people to be alert for signs and symptoms of measles after being notified of a confirmed case who was infectious while visiting several locations in northern Sydney.

The case recently returned from Indonesia where there are ongoing outbreaks of measles, and they were also identified as a contact of a measles case on their return flight to Australia.
People who attended the following locations should watch for symptoms of measles. These locations do not pose an ongoing risk.

Saturday, 27 December 2025:
- Train from Thornleigh Station to Epping Station, then bus from Epping Station to Macquarie Centre at approximately 11am.
· Macquarie Centre from 12pm to 7pm including:
- Mitzu Restaurant from 1pm to 2.20pm
- Macquarie Centre children’s play area from 2.20pm to 4pm
- F&L Gourmet Restaurant from 5pm to 7pm.
Sunday, 28 December 2025:
- Storey Park playground, Asquith, from 12.30pm to 2pm.
Tuesday, 30 December 2025:
- Waitara Oval from 1pm to 1:30pm.
- Jamie’s Kitchen and children’s play area, Waitara PCYC, from 1.30pm to 3pm.
- Aldi Supermarket, Westfield Shopping Centre, Hornsby from 2.45pm to 4.15pm.
Wednesday, 31 December 2025
- Hornsby Ku-Ring-Gai Hospital Emergency Department, various times from 5.15pm to 8pm.

The full list of locations and times is on the NSW Health website.

Northern Sydney Local Health District Acting Director of Public Health, Dr Sean Tobin, said if you or someone you know visited the above locations at those times, you should monitor for symptoms.

If symptoms develop, see your doctor or health service (including emergency department). Call ahead to let them know that you may have come into contact with measles, so you don’t spend time in waiting rooms with other patients.

“Symptoms to watch out for include fever, sore eyes, runny nose and a cough, usually followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash that spreads from the head and face to the rest of the body,” Dr Tobin said.

“It can take up to 18 days for symptoms to appear after an exposure, so it's important for people who visited these locations to look out for symptoms until 18 January 2026.”

BREAKING: NSW Doctors Strike Today – Healthcare Disruptions Expected .
Thousands of doctors across New South Wales are walking off the job today, calling for action on staffing and funding shortages. The state government has warned of significant care disruptions, including canceled specialist appointments and hundreds of postponed elective surgeries.
Patients are urged to contact their healthcare providers for updates. Stay informed and prioritize safety during this period.

https://www.9news.com.au/national/thousands-of-nsw-doctors-going-on-strike-for-three-days-tomorrow/b09b4124-e0f8-47a9-a296-2bff24743d1f

So, doctors in the NSW public system are striking between Tuesday and Thursday.

I have been scheduled for a gastroscopy on Wednesday.

I don't know if they're going to reschedule the scope because of the strike. They'll call with pre-admission information tomorrow afternoon, so I'll know then.. but if they aren't going to reschedule, do I cancel because I don't want to cross a picket line?

I can't see anything from the union (Asmof) about patients being asked to support the strike by cancelling procedures.. but is that because they don't think that patients would support them like that?

So, assuming that I don't get rescheduled, do I cancel my gastroscopy?

Does anyone know what Asmof is actually asking patients to do to support the strike?

#Union #DoctorStrike #NSWHealth #nswhealthworkers #asmof #nswdoctorsstrike #unionstrong

I see that the NSW Government are playing ‘High ball/Low ball’ while the argument from Doctors is more nuanced.

NSW to Ban Privatisation of Public Hospitals
The NSW government is introducing "Joe’s Law" to block future privatisation of public acute hospitals. The law is named after two-year-old Joe Massa, who died in September after waiting three hours in the emergency department of Northern Beaches Hospital—a private-public partnership (PPP) operated by Healthscope.
The decision follows concerns over patient safety in privatised healthcare systems.

Psychiatrist accuses NSW government of 'declaring war' on mental health system: A psychiatrist resigning in protest over the lack of resources in NSW's mental health sector says the state government's response is effectively a declaration of war. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-23/psychiatrist-nsw-government-mental-health-system/104851288?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #psychiatrists #nswhealth #resignations

NSW public sector psychiatrists double down on resignation threat: NSW public sector psychiatrists say they are prepared to quit their jobs on Tuesday over a pay dispute, but the NSW government is refusing to back down. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-20/nsw-psychiatrists-resignation-threat-pay-dispute/104837056?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #psychiatrists #NSWHealth #publichospitals

Fears 'apocalyptic' outcomes will follow NSW psychiatrist exodus: Doctors warn of "apocalyptic" conditions in NSW's emergency departments if the mass exodus of psychiatrists goes ahead next week. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-15/health-workers-apocalyptic-nsw-ed-psychiatrist-exodus/104821252?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #psychiatrists #nswhealth #mentalhealth

Mother who struggled to find psychiatrist fears consequences of mass exodus: Finding a child and adolescent psychiatrist for Tanya Collins's daughter became so difficult, she was forced to enter the costly private health system. She fears what the loss of about 200 of the state's psychiatrists in seven days could mean. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-14/mother-nsw-psychiatrist-mental-health-system-crisis-resignations/104815392?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #NSWgovernment #psychiatrists #NSWHealth

@abcfeeds another #nswhealth story about how they don’t think much of woman. They don’t think much of #RegionalCommunities either.

Just for the record #breastscreenqld send me a reminder and a follow up and nag until you go and get it done. Don’t wait for that moment just do it.

This is appalling.

Nurses to sue NSW government over staff numbers.

Thanks, as always, to
#NSWhealth for always reliably producing Australia's best set of data on respiratory viruses and keeping your community informed about their illnesses.
Graphs and data from: https://health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/weekly-reports.aspx

To close the loop on my stitch-removal questions (facial sutures, not sewing), I returned to the emergency department after not being able to even become a new patient of a doctor, let alone book an appointment. The ED admin person said there is currently a 30+ shortage of GPs on the coast😱

I watched the emergency patient count online through the day, and when it dipped from in the 20s down to 5, I went in. All done in about 30 mins.

‘I don’t want to come back’: PTSD, burnout driving nurses out of hospitals

NSW public hospitals face a mass exodus of senior nurses suffering trauma and burnout from overwhelming workloads, leaving younger, less experienced nurses outnumbered and at greater risk of abuse from frustrated patients.

Heroes don’t wear capes. They wear scrubs. My nursing team has been absolutely incredible. They have worked so many overtime shifts and backing up evening shifts to morning shifts. I haven’t had to self advocate about trans or correct pronouns once. It’s been amazing. It has been such a relief to be able to just focus on getting better. With a clear shortage of nurses and a desperate need of mandated ratios to reduce burnout. Our nurses clearly deserve #MoreThanThanks #nurses #nswhealth
