"So far in 2025 (as of May 1), 70 cases of measles have been notified in
Australia, with all states and territories except Tasmania and the Australian
Capital Territory having recorded at least one case. Most infections have
occurred in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia.
We’ve already surpassed the total number of cases recorded in all of 2023 (26
cases) and 2024 (57 cases).
Measles outbreaks are currently occurring in every region of the world. Most
Australian cases are diagnosed in travellers returning from overseas, including
popular holiday destinations in Southeast Asia.
But although Australia eliminated local transmission of measles in 2014,
recently we’ve seen measles infections once again in Australians who haven’t
been overseas. In other words, the virus has been transmitted in the community.
So with measles health alerts and news reports popping up often, what do you
need to know about measles? We’ve collated a list of commonly Googled questions
about the virus and the vaccine."
