Congenital syphilis remains a significant public health threat in Australia, warranting national efforts to reduce syphilis incidence overall, focusing on women of reproductive age. To identify priority actions to eliminate congenital syphilis, ASHM convened a national multidisciplinary roundtable with attendance from organisations, colleges, and bodies across the healthcare sector with a focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' health, sexual and reproductive health, antenatal health, primary care, pathology, and pharmacy, as well as research institutes and community organisations. This position statement outlines the immediate, short-term and long-term actions identified by roundtable participants to eliminate congenital syphilis in Australia.
