Independent Pandemic Management Advisory Committee

The Independent Pandemic Management Advisory Committee (IPMAC) was dissolved on 12 October 2022 to coincide with the end of Victoria’s pandemic declaration.

IPMAC was a statutory advisory body that was established under the pandemic management framework introduced in December 2021 through the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 (the Act) to inform the Victorian Government's pandemic response.

IPMAC was established on 11 February 2022 by the Minister for Health under the Act to:

review and provide advice to the Minister in relation to the exercise of powers under Part 8A of the Act
prepare and provide reports to the Minister including, but not limited to, reports that make nonbinding recommendations.
IPMAC is dissolved when the pandemic declaration is revoked or not renewed.
