About CDC

Centre for Disease Control (CDC) provides a range of services to monitor, control, prevent and, in some instances, eliminate communicable and non communicable diseases throughout the Northern Territory (NT).

NT-wide programs, policies and strategies are developed via multisectoral consultation and implemented by district CDCs in collaboration with all levels of health care providers. Both professional and community education are critical parts of successful program outcomes.

Some clinical services are also provided, especially where curative treatment is the best prevention (e.g. TB, STDs) and/or expertise is limited (e.g. TB, leprosy, HIV medicine). Additionally CDC maintains the capacity to respond quickly and expertly to disease outbreaks throughout the NT.
