In 2009, the Technical Advisory Group on Immunization and Vaccine Preventable Diseases in the World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific Region endorsed the 2015 targets for accelerating control of rubella and preventing congenital rubella syndrome (CRS).1 The global goal outlined in the Global Vaccine Action Plan is for five of six WHO regions, including the Western Pacific Region, to achieve rubella elimination by 2020. Current evidence suggests that rubella is well controlled and may already be eliminated in Australia.3 CRS is now rare, with an average of one case reported annually over the past decade, occurring mostly in infants of unimmunized immigrant mothers.4 Rubella and CRS have been nationally notifiable since 1991 with all states and territories notifying confirmed and probable cases to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). NNDSS is a passive surveillance system, managed by the Commonwealth Department of Health, which collects de-identified data from all Australian states and territories on nationally notifiable diseases. The Australian Paediatric Surveillance Unit (APSU) undertakes active surveillance by child health clinicians who report monthly de-identified clinical laboratory and epidemiological data on a range of conditions, including CRS, since 1993. To verify rubella and CRS elimination, countries need to ensure that their surveillance systems are sufficiently sensitive to capture almost all cases. This study aims to estimate the incidence of CRS in Australia and the sensitivity of CRS case ascertainment in the NNDSS
