The Australian Q Fever Register (the Register) is the first non-statutory health register to be established in Australia and has been operating since 2001. It provides a secure repository of records documenting the Q Fever status for individuals as an aid for the red meat processing industry (and broader livestock, agricultural and affiliated industries) in managing workplace health risks from Q Fever.
The Australian Q Fever Register forms an important contribution to Q Fever risk management in the
workplace, and has provided a continuing service to the red meat processing industry since its inception.
