       Mpox continues to spread in the community Health advisory
       Australia
       14 Sep 2026
       Health advisory Australia release:
       Issued by:
       Caroline McElnay, Chief Health Officer
       Issued to:
       Victorian community and health professionals
       Mpox cases are rising in Victoria, and the virus continues to
       circulate in many parts of the world.
       Mpox mainly spreads through close contact with someone with
       mpox, such as during sexual activity.
       Symptoms can include a rash or skin lesions, genital or rectal
       pain, fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, tiredness and
       muscle aches or pains.
       Mpox most often affects men who have sex with men, but anyone
       who is exposed to the virus can become infected.
       Sexually active people with symptoms that may be mpox should get
       tested, regardless of their sexual orientation, travel history
       or vaccination status.
       Free mpox vaccination, including second doses, is available for
       eligible groups at increased risk.
