National Plan to transition Australia's National COVID-19 Response

Opening back up in a careful and safe way is the highest priority of the Australian Government.

The modelling from the Doherty Institute has given Australia a clear path and targets for how to do that.

The targets in the National Plan were agreed by all the States and Territories at National Cabinet on 6 August 2021.

  • TGA provisionally approves Moderna vaccine for 12-17 year olds

    Immunisation experts will advise how the approval will be incorporated into Australia’s vaccine rollout program. This advice is expected in the coming week.

  • Update from National Cabinet: 3 September

    More than 61% of Australians aged 16 years and over have now had a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and over 37% of Australians aged 16 years and over are now fully vaccinated.

    National Cabinet were briefed on plans to accelerate the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, developed in partnership with the Indigenous health sector and state and territories. It also agreed that the National COVID Vaccine Taskforce would undertake additional planning to increase vaccination rates amongst disadvantaged communities and other hard to reach communities.

  • Four million doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to boost Australia’s rollout

    Four million extra Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines will begin arriving in Australia this month, following a historic dose sharing partnership between the Australian and United Kingdom governments. Australia will gain access to four million doses now, and will send four million Pfizer doses to the UK from Australian supplies in late 2021.

    The vaccines will be batch tested for quality and safety, before being distributed across the country on an equal population basis.
