Abstract
This NTAC Strategic Plan is the plan for the five years from 2016 to 2020 towards the elimination of Tuberculosis (TB). The goals of this Strategic Plan are to: (i) reduce TB incidence by an average of 10% per annum by 2020, to ensure Australia is on the right path to meet the 2035 target; and (ii) substantially reduce the disparity in TB rates between Indigenous and Australian born non-Indigenous populations by 2020, with the aim of zero disparity by 2035.
