A Discrete-Event, Simulated Social Agent-Based Network Transmission model for communicable diseases

In this presentation, find out how Gold Coast Health created a software platform that can model the spread of any communicable disease in any city or region. The platform was used to accurately model the 2020 COVID-19 outbreaks in Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast and is also being used to inform the potential impact on hospital and ICU admissions, resource utilisation, and to explore potential vaccination strategies and their interaction with social restrictions.
