COVID-19: The Sydney Policy Lab Papers

Australian policymakers have faced momentous decisions in the last few months and will continue to do so in the months ahead.

To help them navigate the challenges with which they are confronted, the Sydney Policy Lab asked experts in migration, democracy, public health, infectious diseases, epidemiology, mathematics, bioethics, economics and political philosophy: what do policymakers need to do to deal with the enormously complex questions revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic?

Our COVID-19 Sydney Policy Papers are the result of these discussions.
