NSW Health is advising people in the Sutherland Shire to be alert for signs and symptoms of measles after being notified of a case.

This case is a returned traveller from Southeast Asia, where there are ongoing outbreaks of measles.

The person visited several locations across the Sutherland Shire while unknowingly infectious, including healthcare facilities.

A full list of locations is available on the NSW Health website
(www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/measles/Pages/public-exposure-locations.aspx) Exposure locations and times are updated regularly.

People who attended these locations should watch for symptoms of measles. These locations do not pose an ongoing risk.

If it has been less than 6 days since the exposure at these locations and you are pregnant, have a weakened immune system or have an infant who was exposed, you are advised to contact your local Public Health Unit urgently on 1300 066 055.

There is currently an increased risk of measles in NSW, with 47 cases confirmed since 1 January 2026.

South Eastern Sydney Local Health District Public Health Physician, Dr Anthea Katelaris, said people should monitor for symptoms of measles, particularly if they have visited any of the exposure locations at the listed time.

Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is safe and effective and is given free for children at 12 and 18 months of age. It is also free in NSW for anyone born after 1965 who hasn't already had two doses.

Children under the age of 12 months can have an extra, early, dose of MMR from six months of age if they are travelling overseas. Parents should consult their GP.

People who are unsure of whether they have had two doses should get a vaccine, as additional doses are safe. This is particularly important prior to travel. MMR vaccine is available from GPs (all ages) and pharmacies (people over 5 years of age).

For more information on measles, view the measles factsheet (www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/factsheets/Pages/Measles_Factsheet.aspx)

People can also visit the Australian Government Smart Traveller website (www.smartraveller.gov.au) for information on health risks, including measles outbreaks relevant to their travel destination.

If you, or a loved one, is experiencing measles symptoms, or have questions about measles, please call your GP or healthdirect on 1800 022 222.
