Here is the NSW Childrens Hospital protocol (with well researched & vetted support papers listed), which is based on the NSW Health protocols you linked:

Again, without US protocol for RLW infective treatment, physicians dealing with patients are pretty much left hanging in the wind....
I would speculate that if you are in a high RLW infective risk group, an option may be to travel to (or contact a friend in) one of the countries that sells Albendazole over the counter in order to have an available prophylactic if needed, within 7 days of known exposure... but I am not a medical professional & of course, would never want to actually advise someone to do this....
If only we had better information from our medical professionals...
