A Public Health Alert has been issued following 4 confirmed cases of measles who attended the Jelly Roll Concert at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday, 24 October 2025. Cases are expected to increase over the next few weeks given the large numbers of people potentially exposed.
Metro South Public Health Unit wishes to remind primary care professionals to remain proactive in minimising measles transmission that can occur in medical settings.
17 to 25 November is Cervical Cancer Awareness Week to raise awareness of this fourth most common cancer among women worldwide.
Australia is on track to be one of the first countries to eliminate cervical cancer, but only if we increase screening rates, and ensure everyone who needs to screen does so when due.
Doing cervical screening is simple. Your patients can choose to have a cervical screening test either by:
• doing their own test using a self-swab
• having a healthcare provider do the test using a speculum
Both options are safe and accurate at detecting HPV, a very common virus and the cause of almost all cervical cancer.
Friday 14 November was World Diabetes Day. Around 1.3 million people are hospitalised with diabetes-related conditions every year.
As the first point of contact for most patients, primary care providers play a critical role in the early detection, management, and education of patients with diabetes, ensuring many never have to see a hospital.
If you’re a nurse or midwife working in primary healthcare, you are invited to participate in a national survey run by the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA).
Survey results help APNA to develop and secure funding for programs that support primary health care nurses at every stage of their careers.
Complete the survey to go into a draw to win 1 of 2 $1000 RedBalloon vouchers.

Brisbane South PHN is a not-for-profit organisation that works in partnership with local community organisations, health care professionals, regional hospital and health services, state and federal governments, and the public, private and not-for-profit sectors to support a well-coordinated and collaborative primary health system.
We are committed to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services and improving health and wellbeing in Brisbane south. We do this through both supporting primary care providers and directly commissioning services.
Our region contains 23% of Queensland’s population. This includes a large proportion of vulnerable populations, including culturally and linguistically diverse peoples, refugees, older persons, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The Brisbane south region covers a large geographic area south of the Brisbane River, including metropolitan, rural and remote island locations, and its residents have varied expectations about health and health services.
Given the wide variations in social determinants of health, health behaviours, health outcomes and system/service availability, our role is particularly important for those most vulnerable in the community and at risk of poor health outcomes.
We support the primary health sector through:
providing support services so health service providers can be better placed to deliver care to patients, keeping them healthy and out of hospital
providing workforce development through training and education
working with practices to understand and use eHealth systems
careful analysis and planning to identify and address health service gaps
working with others to purchase or commission health services for local groups most in need, including patients with complex chronic conditions or mental illness.
