In this task, students will act as Public Health Officers within a state/territory Health Department notified of a tuberculosis index case and undertake appropriate contract tracing and exposure assessments. Students will use actual tuberculosis control protocols from two Australian jurisdictions, and provide a departmental report on their investigations, appropriate information to the media, and a commentary on jurisdictional differences they observed and what practical implications these may have.
