Sydney Measles Alert Issued After Exposure Linked to Overseas Traveller

NSW Health has issued a measles alert in Sydney after confirming a case in a returned international traveller who was infectious while visiting public locations on January 27, 2026. Authorities have advised people who were at Sydney Airport and on selected train services to monitor for symptoms for up to 18 days. Health officials say the exposure sites pose no ongoing risk but stress vaccination remains the most effective protection, particularly for people born after 1965.

Scientists Find Rare Algae Behind SA’s Toxic Bloom Crisis

Scientists identify rare algae species Karenia cristata as the cause of South Australia's toxic bloom crisis. A pre-print paper reveals the new brevetoxin producer is the primary cause of the bloom that killed thousands of marine wildlife. According to Professor Shauna Murray, the scientific community knew very little about the species, only reported twice before in the world. The bloom was first detected in March and has now spread to cover 20,000 square kilometres, affecting 30 percent of the coastline. In a related development, the government announced a $102.5 m summer plan to support coastal communities with vouchers, grants, and funding for research.
