Your Story Portal - Submissions

The Commission wants to share the stories and experiences of everyday Australians as part of our project. 

We are calling for stories from people who were impacted by the national, state and community responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This process is intended to capture varied perspectives from people across diverse Australian communities. We want to understand the impacts of pandemic responses on aspects of daily life such as health, family and employment.

We ask that your story describes how you were personally impacted during the pandemic. Stories can relate to any aspect of the country’s COVID-19 pandemic response such as lock downs, border closures, quarantine requirements, social distancing or school closures.

If we use any quotes, excerpts or examples from your story in our report or other published documents, we will not include any information that may identify you.

Tip: We recommend writing your story submission in a separate document and copying across to prevent potential loss.
