Media Release: Retirement of Professor Paul Kelly

Today, following the announcement of Professor Paul Kelly’s decision to retire from his role as Chief Medical Officer, I acknowledge and thank Professor Kelly for his strong leadership and significant contributions to Australia’s public health.

Professor Kelly’s expert guidance was pivotal in Australia’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and advancing infectious disease control, immunisation, and public health outcomes at both the Commonwealth and State and Territory levels.

Professor Kelly’s commitment to evidence-based decision-making will leave a lasting impact on the health and wellbeing of Australians.

I wish Professor Kelly all the best in his retirement and future endeavours.
