Safe Work Australia has published the 2023 Interim Review of the List of Deemed Disease in Australia report and a revised List of Deemed Diseases in Australia and Supporting Guidance Material.
The interim review was limited to considering the latest scientific evidence on COVID-19, cancers related to firefighter work, Japanese encephalitis, and other veterinarian diseases.
Based on the review findings, the List of Deemed Diseases in Australia has been updated to include malignant mesothelioma and bladder cancer related to firefighting and to remove COVID-19.
