Issues

The year 2020 began with extreme heat and catastrophic bushfires in Australia, only to be followed by the COVID-19 pandemic which has posed unprecedented challenges for health policy and practice. The papers in this issue focus on how our public health systems can learn from these events, and how we can better prepare for future extreme events.

In 2014, the Sax Institute assumed responsibility for the NSW Public Health Bulletin and relaunched the publication as the online journal Public Health Research & Practice. A complete archive of past NSW Public Health Bulletin articles is available here.

From time to time Public Health Research & Practice carries supplements on special issues. Visit this section for a full list of supplements published over the past quarter century of the journal’s history.
