Clinical Advisory Committee on Lyme Disease
The Australian Government is monitoring Lyme disease, in consultation with the states and territories, through the Communicable Diseases Network Australia.
The Australian Government Chief Medical Officer, Professor Chris Baggoley, has established a Clinical Advisory Committee on Lyme disease to provide him with advice on the evidence for Lyme disease in Australia, diagnostic testing, treatment and research requirements. The Committee will also provide advice on the most appropriate ways to disseminate information to health professionals and the general public.

The scoping study was made available for download on the Department of Health’s website and comments from all invited.
Along with myself, numerous people (and associations) submitted a response to the information in the Scoping Study.
