A NSW Health public notice titled “Measles alert for Sydney’s Inner West”, dated 16 February 2026. The notice advises residents to be alert for measles symptoms after two confirmed cases were identified. The cases are linked to an earlier NSW case in a returned traveller from South-East Asia, and one case visited multiple Inner West locations while unknowingly infectious, including healthcare facilities. The notice directs people to the NSW Health website for an updated list of exposure locations and times, and states these locations do not pose an ongoing risk. People who attended exposure sites should monitor for symptoms, which may appear up to 18 days after exposure, including fever, runny nose, sore eyes, cough, followed by a red blotchy rash spreading from the head to the body. Advice is given for pregnant people, those with weakened immune systems, and parents of exposed infants to contact their local Public Health Unit. The notice highlights an increased risk of measles in NSW, with 16 cases confirmed since 1 January 2026. It emphasizes that measles is airborne, vaccine-preventable, and encourages people to ensure they are up to date with MMR vaccination, especially those born after 1965 and before overseas travel. Information is provided on vaccine eligibility for children, travellers, and adults, with a link to the measles factsheet for more details.

The property I'm renting has been sold & I have to vacate by March 5, but I haven't been able to find a new property. The prospect of being homeless at 80 terrifies me. I am focussing on the Mornington Peninsula, but am willing to consider just about anywhere. If you are aware of something DM me.
