    NT Health issues measles alert as confirmed case travels through Darwin, Alice Springs
    July 26, 2025 - 10:32AM

    A man’s trip through the Territory has ended with NT Health issuing a measles alert, after he presented to Cairns hospital with symptoms.

    NT Health issued the alert on Saturday morning, listing a number of locations the “confirmed case” the tourist had visited in Darwin and Alice Springs.​..

    ...The department determined the man visited about nine locations in the Territory across a seven day period, starting with an all-day Litchfield National Park tour with Ethical Adventures on July 17.

    On July 18 to 19, the man went on an overnight AAPT Kings Jabiru tour, where he also visited the Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel between roughly 6-8pm.

    On July 20, the man visited the Museum and Art Gallery of the NT from 1-3pm, then went to the Darwin Airport at 3.30pm to check in and board QANTAS flight QF1960 to Alice Springs.​

    The flight arrived in Alice Springs and the man was in the airport from 7-7.30pm Sunday night.

    NT Health did not list the man’s next locations until Wednesday, July 23, when he was said to have returned to the Alice Springs Airport at lunchtime to board Airnorth flight TL361 to Cairns.

    The man likely acquired the disease in Bali, prior to coming to Darwin, according to the department.​..

        By Catherine Strohfeldt
        August 26, 2025 — 7.38pm


        A measles alert has been issued for communities south of Brisbane after health authorities confirmed a traveller retuning from Bali via Brisbane Airport last week was unknowingly infectious.

        West Moreton Public Health Unit said the patient from Boonah – a community about 70 kilometres south-west of Brisbane – had landed in Brisbane at 5.40am on Tuesday last week, on flight JQ60.

        The person then visited locations in Yamanto and Boonah across the week, before testing positive later in the week.​..

          Australia Issues Urgent Measles Alert After Infected Traveler Brings Virus from Bali to Queensland Airports and Public Locations
          Published on August 27, 2025

          ​A recent measles alert Queensland has been issued after a traveler unknowingly spread the virus following their return from Bali. The infected person flew from Bali to Brisbane on Jetstar flight JQ60, landing on August 19. This has prompted health authorities to issue a warning to anyone who may have been exposed to the virus, particularly in public locations across the city.

          With the highly contagious nature of measles, officials are concerned that this could lead to a measles outbreak in Australia if more cases are not contained quickly. Health experts are urging everyone to stay alert and monitor themselves for symptoms, especially those who were in high-risk areas.

          Locations of Possible Exposure in Brisbane

          The infected traveler visited several public locations after landing in Brisbane, potentially exposing others to the virus. Key places include:

          Brisbane Airport – Between 5:40 AM and 7:10 AM on August 19.
          Yamanto Aldi – From 5:50 PM to 6:40 PM on the same day.
          Footes Pharmacy, Boonah – On August 23...

                            Measles case detected in Brisbane as Queensland outbreak continues to grow
                            By Patrick Brischetto
                            6:43pm Sep 25, 2025​

                            Health authorities in Queensland have urged the public to get vaccinated after a measles case was detected in Brisbane.
                            The case is believed to have been imported from overseas, with a return traveller from Bali visiting multiple locations in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
                            It is another case in what is an ongoing outbreak across the state, with the Gold Coast and Cairns also being impacted by cases.​
                            It has sparked concerns from infectious disease experts that fans travelling to Melbourne for the AFL grand final, where the Brisbane Lions are playing, could act as a potential spreader event.
                            On Monday, it was announced a dozen new cases had been detected in areas around the state.
