A study is being launched into the long term physical and mental effects for health workers on the front line during the coronavirus pandemic.


The research will examine how well workplaces prepared for and responded to the risks in order to protect staff during the COVID-19 crisis.

First-responders confronted with the hardships of the coronavirus pandemic on a daily basis, will be subjects of a new health study into COVID-19.

More than 1500 workers, including hospital staff, primary care and aged care workers along with participants from other health sectors will be recruited.

It's hoped the study will be finished in September next year. [[2021]]
