ABSTRACT
Victoria is the first Australian jurisdiction to enact legislation establishing a regulatory framework specifically to guide government management of the COVID-19 pandemic and future pandemics. The Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Pandemic Management) Act 2021 (Vic) inserts Pt 8A into the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 (Vic). The worthwhile stated objective of Pt 8A is to ensure that decision-making in response to an existing or emergent pandemic is "proactive and responsive", "informed by public health advice and other relevant information", and transparent and accountable. This column analyses sections of Pt 8A related to this aim, which grant decision-making powers, require various matters to inform this decision-making, and provide measures for oversight of decision-making. The column argues that Pt 8A constitutes a useful model on which Victoria and other jurisdictions could build and recommends further legislative amendments to help achieve its objective.
