Announcement of a change in CDI’s editorship

CDI would like to take this opportunity to announce a change in the journal’s editorship. Cindy Toms, CDI’s Editor from September 2017, has taken up a position on the Department’s bushfire recovery initiative. Ms Toms oversaw a number of significant changes to CDI’s operation, associated with the journal’s transition from a quarterly publication to a fully-online, article-based publication schedule, as well as other shifts in practice intended to augment CDI’s value as a source of information on the epidemiology, surveillance, prevention and control of communicable diseases of relevance to Australia.

As of 16 March 2020, CDI’s Editor is Tanja Farmer, who comes to us from a position at the National Health and Medical Research Council.
