A woman who recently travelled from West Africa is in isolation and has been tested for possible Ebola in Australia.
The patient had reportedly displayed signs of a fever and is now at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.
The 18-year-old landed in Queensland 11 days ago and was one of nine family members who flew to Australia from Guinea.
Officials were notified a few days before that they were arriving and they were met at the airport.
The nine were then put in home quarantine, where eight of them remain while the 18-year-old is now in hospital being assessed.
The patient, who was not a health worker, was coming to live in Australia permanently, say officials.
They said she did not have any known contact with anyone who was sick with Ebola in West Africa but came from an area that had a "reasonably large number of cases".
She has already had one test for Ebola and the results are expected in the coming hours.
The patient will then have a second test in three days' time.
