Australian Health Protection Principal Committee

The Australian Health Protection Committee (AHPC) is the peak decision-making committee for public health emergency management and disease control in the Commonwealth of Australia. It is chaired by the Chief Medical Officer of the Australian Government and comprises the chief health officers of the states and territories.

The AHPC's stated function (according to website ) is to provide advice to the '''Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council (AHMAC''') "on health protection matters and national priorities", and AHMAC formerly supported the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Health Council. However, since the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, the AHPC has provided advice directly to the National Cabinet. Provided by Wikipedia
