Notifiable Diseases

Community and Public Health provides information on notifiable diseases for health professionals, including surveillance reporting.

A notifiable disease is a disease or injury that health professionals are required to report to the Medical Officer of Health at the local public health unit. This is a legal requirement under the Health Act (1956) and the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act (1996).
