Review: Traditionally, infectious disease has not played a major role in the dynamics of Australia's international relations or considerations of national security. HIV/AIDS, SARS, Bird Flu and threat of new pandemics has produced a heightened awareness of infectious disease and the integrity of the state. Australia needs to reassess its preparedness for a major outbreak of infectious disease.
