Note that numbers can vary as updates are made to surveillance information at different times.
NNDSS COVID-19 Reporting Caveats
- COVID-19 data includes both confirmed and probable cases reported to the NNDSS, as defined in accordance with the COVID-19 SoNG. Due to a reduction in case ascertainment, including changes in testing and reporting requirements, notifications of COVID-19 are an underestimate of disease incidence in the community.
- Since late 2021, probable cases of COVID-19 were reported to the NNDSS based on previous case definitions outlined in the COVID-19 SoNG at the time. The reporting of probable cases of COVID-19 (diagnosed through self-administered Rapid Antigen Tests [RAT] in the community) to the NNDSS began on 5 January 2022. Note, six jurisdictions have stopped collecting self-administered RAT results: Victoria on 1 July 2023, Queensland on 1 September 2023, New South Wales on 1 October 2023, Western Australia on 9 October, NT on 21 October 2023 and ACT from 22nd December 2023. Point of care tests administered in healthcare or aged care settings continue to be reported to the NNDSS by some jurisdictions.
Therefore data presented here may be underestimating COVID-19 activity.
