ONGOING COVID-19 SUPPORT

2022 marked the 2nd anniversary of the Covid-19 pandemic and a period of pandemic fatigue that saw a shift to a “living with COVID” mindset amongst Australians. Despite the surge in daily case numbers, state governments across Australia started to ease restrictions at the beginning of the year. Practices in some states experienced significant disruptions to their operations. The ASO continued to support members by providing the latest Government, health, workplace and patient resources on our member website, and offering oneon-one member support via phone, email and direct response via our Members Facebook Forum.
