Overview
- Queensland Health named 11 time-specific exposure locations across Brisbane and Mooloolaba visited between September 19 and 21 by an infectious returning traveller from Bali.
- People who were at the listed places should monitor for symptoms for up to 18 days and call ahead before visiting a GP, Metro North Public Health’s Dr Doug Shaw advised.
- The Brisbane case is Queensland’s 21st this year, with clusters reported in Cairns, the Gold Coast, Townsville and the rural community of Middlemount.
- Infectious-disease experts warned that large-scale travel for the AFL grand final could aid spread given measles’ extreme transmissibility.
- Australia has recorded roughly 127 measles cases in 2025, the highest since 2019, as coverage declines; two MMR doses are recommended and available free in Queensland for eligible people.
