Measles public exposure sites in Victoria

Current measles exposure sites and advice on ways to stay safe and protect others

There is currently an increased risk of measles in Victoria and around the world. Known public exposure sites are listed in the exposure sites table.

Measles can spread very easily and may result in illness, hospitalisation and complications. Anyone who has attended a listed exposure site during the specified dates and times may have been exposed to measles and are advised to:

  • Monitor for symptoms of measles for up to 18 days after your visit - symptoms usually start with fever, cough, runny nose, red or sore eyes or feeling generally unwell. This is usually followed by a rash which often starts on the face before spreading down the body.
  • Seek medical care and testing if symptoms develop. Please call the health service beforehand to let them know you may have been exposed to measles and wear a face mask when you go.
  • If you have not received two doses of a measles vaccine, or are unsure, please contact your GP as you may be recommended to receive preventive treatment. This works best when given soon after being exposed, usually within 72 hours (with a measles vaccine) or up to 6 days (with immunoglobulin for at-risk groups such as young infants, pregnant women and immunocompromised people).

Exposure sites

There is no ongoing risk of measles at these locations.

Times listed include a 30-minute buffer period after the case left the site to account for any virus particles remaining in the air.

Please note that exposure sites will remain listed until 2 weeks beyond the end of the symptom monitoring period and will then be removed.
