Mandatory disease testing in NSW: monitoring the operation and administration of the mandatory Disease testing Act 2021 is the NSW Ombudsman’s first report on its monitoring of the MDT Act. The report sets out the NSW Ombudsman’s observations from monitoring the first 18 months of the scheme, from 29 July 2022 to 31 December 2023.
The MDT Act provides for mandatory blood testing of a person, whose bodily fluids have come into contact with certain public sector workers in the course of their duties, as a result of that person’s deliberate action.
The report makes 62 recommendations about the MDT scheme.
