Following initial serosurveillance activities in 2020, the Australian COVID-19 Serosurveillance Network has embarked on a program of repeat surveys of blood donors. The program aims to estimate the prevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, whether derived from vaccination or natural infection and examine variations over time using repeat cross-sectional surveys of Australian blood donors.

The National Prison Entrants’ Blood Borne Virus Survey (NPEBBVS) was first conducted in 2004 to determine the prevalence of bloodborne viruses in Australian prisons and to examine risk factors associated with exposure. It aimed to provide information on prison entrants at risk of contracting bloodborne viruses as a result of injecting or other behaviours conducted prior to imprisonment. The first survey included New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania.
