We are grateful for the input we are receiving from a range of sources including submissions, interviews with key stakeholders and focus groups looking at the lived experience of key groups.
We are also running a series of roundtables hosted by the Commonwealth Government COVID-19 Response Inquiry panel members.
The roundtables are being held to further explore the impact of the pandemic on key sectors and communities, and to open up further discussion in areas where we have heard differing views on the best ways we can move ahead in pandemic preparedness and response.
They also allow the panel to test early directions and stakeholder suggestions and refine the thinking on various themes and lessons learned.
