Western Australia’s new chief health officer, Clare Huppatz, is juggling global threats like Ebola and a rare diphtheria outbreak while keeping Australia’s health systems sharp.

With a busy plate including cruise ship quarantine and flu season, she’s also pushing for better vaccination rates and stronger Aboriginal health partnerships. As the first woman in the role, she’s also paving the way for more girls in public health — and reminding us that preparedness isn’t optional, it’s essential.
