The independent review into the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic is an opportunity for Advance to share the experience and suggestions of overseas Australians to better prepare for future health crises and international emergencies. The independent panel, led by Peter Shergold AC, is funded by the Minderoo Foundation, the Paul Ramsay Foundation and the John and Myriam Wylie Foundation. It asks four questions:
- What impact did the pandemic have on you and your community?
- What worked well, and what didn’t work well, in governments’ policy responses to reduce the impact of the pandemic on you and your community?
- What should be done now to better prepare for the next health crisis?
- What other issues would you like to raise with the Panel?
