Reporting form for notifiable diseases as per the South Australian Public Health Act 2011
Under the South Australian Public Health Act 2011, medical practitioners and diagnostic laboratories are required to notify SA Health of cases suspected of having or diagnosed with specified infections or diseases.
In addition, medical practitioners, pharmacists, and persons authorised to vaccinate under the Vaccine Administration Code (including nurses, midwives and Aboriginal Health Practitioners) are required to notify notifiable adverse events following immunisation (AEFI).
Reporting requirements for notifiable conditions have changed.
Refer the SA Health Fact Sheet: SA Notifiable Conditions (PDF 163KB) or Related Death: Information for Health Professionals (PDF 373KB).
The conditions which are notifiable are specified in the new South Australian Public Health (Notifiable and Controlled Notifiable Conditions) Regulations 2025 under the Act. These are commonly referred to as 'notifiable conditions’.
Exceptions apply to chlamydia, COVID-19, seasonal influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rotavirus and varicella-zoster virus which medical practitioners are not required to notify unless specific conditions apply (refer How to notify).
Notification is always required if a notifiable infection or disease has caused or contributed to the death of a person – even if the condition has already been notified.
Please note that conditions listed below with a telephone number require urgent notification by phoning the Communicable Disease Control Branch (CDCB) 24 hours, 7 days a week on 1300 232 272.
All infections should be notified within three days of suspecting or confirming a diagnosis.
