The following report COVID-19: A roadmap for recovery by Lung Foundation Australia discusses the results from our national survey about the experiences of Australians throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of ongoing COVID-19 symptoms. We further gained a unique insight into the impacts of COVID-19 for the lung disease community and a better understanding of gaps in support for Australians living with ongoing COVID-19 symptoms. This report outlines the following:
- Experience of Australians through the pandemic
- Experience of Australians living with a lung disease or other chronic condition
- Experience of carers
- Healthcare access
- Mental health
- Immunisation
- The view of Australians on disease prevention, the future and government trust
- Recommendations
In 2022, Lung Foundation Australia also commissioned The George Institute for Global Health to complete a scoping literature review to look at the characteristics and impact of long COVID in people with lung disease. Read the literature review in our Characteristics and impact of long COVID-19 in people with lung disease resource.
