Communicable diseases
Communicable diseases spread from person to person. While most of these diseases are mild and last only a few days, some can become much more serious.
We can help schools, child care centres, residential aged care facilities and other organisations with:
- advice on how to stop diseases spreading
- what to do if there is an outbreak
- finding and contacting anyone who may have been in contact with an infected person.
Find the list of conditions which you must tell us about on the Queensland Health website.
