Labor's foreign affairs spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek says the Federal Government's financial commitment to medical research alone is not enough to stop the spread of Ebola.

Federal Health Minister Peter Dutton has indicated the Government is considering investing in an Australian research company looking at ways to contain the outbreak, but that it is not willing to put doctors and nurses on the ground because it would be too hard to evacuate them.

The organisation is looking at ways to control the virus by using the plasma taken from the blood of Ebola survivors.

"I've had discussions with the Gates foundation and also with CSL, the great Australian company, about work that we may be able to partner in," Mr Dutton said.

"That would require financial support from the Australian Government and we would be of the mind to support that financially if we believe that it's going to make a tangible difference to people on the ground."

But Ms Plibersek told ABC's Insiders program that while financial support is helpful, it is not enough.

"President Obama, Prime Minister Cameron, the World Health Organisation (WHO), the United Nations have all said ... that money is fine but what's really needed are expert medical personnel, supplies and equipment," she said.

Mr Dutton and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop have written to the Opposition asking for bipartisanship on the issue, but Ms Plibersek said it was "a bit rough to call for bipartisanship when the Government's plainly doing the wrong thing".

"We were briefed at the beginning of October about all of the impediments to Australia sending volunteers to West Africa to assist to get this virus under control and, in the week subsequent, it appears the Government has made little to no effort to overcome those impediments," she said.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has previously ruled out sending Australian medical teams to Ebola hotspots, saying it would be "irresponsible".

The Government insists experts do not believe those who caught the virus would be able to survive the 30-hour evacuation flight.

Government should prioritise finding alternative solutions: Plibersek

Ms Plibersek said the Government should liaise with European countries to arrange alternative evacuation procedures.

"A number of health workers have been evacuated to different European countries," she said.

"We know that the UK and the US are building hospitals specifically for health workers in West Africa. The UK is apparently sending a hospital ship.

"It is beyond me why other countries are able to make arrangements for their health workers, including now Japan ... and the Australian Government is not able to do that."

Mr Dutton said on Friday that discussions with European countries did not provide any guaranteed support for Australian health workers.

"In the end these countries will want to guarantee support for their own health workers," he said.

"It is very difficult in that circumstance to guarantee priority, or to give us guarantees about support for health workers."

Ms Plibersek said alternative solutions could be found.

"I've got absolute faith in our health officials, our foreign affairs officials and our Defence Force personnel. I believe if the Government tasked them with finding a solution to this, that they would be able to do it," she said.

Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce today supported the Government's position.

"If people wish to go - and there are a lot of Australians who do go - then that is their right," he said.

"But when it becomes the endorsement of the Government it obviously carries a guarantee that the Government has the capacity to deal with the disease if you catch it. Australia does not have that capacity."

The comments come as the WHO announced it would publish a full review of its handling of the Ebola crisis once the outbreak is under control, following reports of a leaked document alleging the organisation failed to do enough.

The WHO said in a statement that it would not comment on the internal document - a first draft that had not been fact-checked - as it was "part of an ongoing analysis of our response".
