Disruptions encompassed impacts on hospitals, primary care, health information systems, infrastructure, public health and health promotion activities, and the health workforce.

Of the publications included, most focused on disruptions to hospital services and transport systems, including a reduction in health workforce availability, primarily due to the latter. Less than one-third reported impacts on health services for socially vulnerable populations. Floods affect multiple levels of the health system, intersecting with impacts across three key domains: infrastructure and health information systems, access to healthcare and the health workforce.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Original research on how floods impact Australia\u2019s health system, its services and workforce has been limited, particularly in relation to general practice, allied health and the differential impacts on socially vulnerable populations. Further research is needed to inform targeted disaster preparedness and response strategies and to understand the complex and intersecting impacts. The analytical framework developed in this review provides a way to conceptualise how floods disrupt different components of the health system and offers a foundation for future research and policy development to strengthen system resilience in the face of increasing flood risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2025-108856","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]],"date-time":"2025-12-08T06:30:25Z","timestamp":1765175425000},"page":"e108856","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["How floods impact health systems: a scoping review of Australian research"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Nicole","family":"Dorfer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Centre for Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"Sydney Medical School, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4393-5773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jodie","family":"Bailie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Centre for Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Lismore, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"Centre for Disability Research and Policy, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Ahern","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Centre for Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9393-6398","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rebecca","family":"McNaught","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"Healthy Environments and Lives (HEAL) National Research Network, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0721-6675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen","family":"Scott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sydney Medical School, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1319-257X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Veronica","family":"Matthews","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Centre for Rural Health, The University of Sydney, Lismore, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"Healthy Environments and Lives (HEAL) National Research Network, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4046-2405","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Geoffrey Gerard","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"Healthy Environments and Lives (HEAL) National Research Network, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4324-311X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kanchana","family":"Ekanayake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney Library, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5966-3368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ross","family":"Bailie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"Healthy Environments and Lives (HEAL) National Research Network, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026010703460744000_15.12.e108856.1","unstructured":"World Health Organization .
