In 2018, the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System received 1,438 tuberculosis (TB) notifi- cations, representing a rate of 5.8 per 100,000 population, consistent with the preceding three years. Australia has achieved and maintained good tuberculosis (TB) control since the mid-1980s, sustain- ing a low annual TB incidence rate of approximately 5 to 6 cases per 100,000 population. The number of multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) cases diagnosed in Australia is low by international standards, with approximately 2% of TB notifications per year classified as MDR-TB. Australia’s overseas-born population continue to represent the majority of TB notifications (between 86% to 89% across the four reporting years) and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population continues to record TB rates around four to five times higher than the Australian-born Non-Indigenous population.
