HEALTH UPDATE: RUBELLA AWARENESS
We are sharing advice from the Victorian Chief Health Officer about rubella (German measles). There is currently no identified concern at Wayi School. This information is being shared as a proactive measure to keep families informed.
From 28 October 2026, rubella and congenital rubella became urgent notifiable conditions in Victoria, requiring doctors and pathology services to report suspected or confirmed cases immediately.
Rubella is rare in Australia and usually causes mild illness, but it can have serious consequences during pregnancy. Families are encouraged to check that vaccinations are up to date and speak with their GP about any concerns. Anyone who is pregnant and may have been exposed to rubella should seek urgent medical advice.
