Anthony Newall

Associate Professor Anthony Newall is a health economist specializing in the epidemiology and cost-effectiveness of infectious disease prevention strategies at the School of Population Health, UNSW Sydney. He holds a Masters of Public Health (Hons) and PhD from the University of Sydney, focusing on economic evaluations of vaccination programs. His research emphasizes mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and public health policy.

Key areas of expertise include vaccine cost-effectiveness, pandemic preparedness, and healthcare resource utilization. Notable projects include evaluating vaccination programs for influenza, RSV, and pneumococcal disease, as well as analyzing the economic impact of public health interventions. His work often integrates large-scale data from primary care and population-level studies.

Recent research highlights include modeling the epidemiological impact of maternal RSV vaccination in Australia, assessing flexible vaccine manufacturing capacity for pandemic responses, and cost-effectiveness analyses of HIV-related cardiovascular interventions. His findings inform policy decisions on vaccination strategies and healthcare resource allocation.

Newall collaborates on international studies, including analyses of global influenza vaccine production and disease burden estimation in low-resource settings. He also contributes to educational initiatives, such as the Economic Evaluation in Healthcare course and the Health Economic Evaluation Specialisation at UNSW.
