Abstract

This project addresses the question: how can we better prepare our institutions and Australian society for the next pandemic? COVID-19 has been characterised by uncertainties about transmission risks and the effectiveness of precautionary strategies, undermining confidence in experts and authorities. This project will develop guidance and practical resources to improve social preparedness for the next pandemic, and promote greater trust within and between expert groups and the broader community.
