Our WHO obligations
As a member state of the World Health Organization (WHO), Australia complies with with the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR). These regulations help countries manage public health risks that may cross international borders.

We report every year on how Australia is implementing the IHR standards. To find out how we and other countries are progressing, see e-SPAR (WHO’s annual reporting tool).
