Surveillance report for active trachoma annual reports

The National Trachoma Surveillance and Reporting Unit (NTSRU) was established in November 2006 to improve the quality and consistency of data collection and reporting of active trachoma in Australia. This page contains links to trachoma surveillance annual reports from 2006. Documents are available in both HTML and PDF format.

Active trachoma data collected in 2006, prior to the commencement of the NTSRU, were reported by the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia. In most regions, Aboriginal children aged 5-9 years were screened for signs of active trachoma, following the World Health Organization simplified trachoma grading system. The first annual report published in Communicable Diseases Intelligence is for 2006.

A more comprehensive annual report is published on the Office for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health web site.
