Senator David Fawcett, Chair of the Parliament's Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee, says the Department has been at the forefront of Australia's COVID-19 response.
Senator Fawcett said "Australians can rightly be proud of the achievements of our health authorities in responding to and managing the COVID-19 pandemic, though of course there is still work to be done. The committee looks forward to hearing from the Department about recent developments in the fight against COVID-19 and the steps we might take as a nation to build our resilience as we emerge from the pandemic."
Full terms of reference for the inquiry are on the Committee website.
