"Around 5-10% of people in Australia experience symptoms for more than three
months after a COVID infection, termed long COVID.
So far, more than 200 different symptoms have been recorded, ranging from
shortness of breath to fatigue and brain fog. The effects are far-reaching for
those with the condition, often affecting their capacity to work and their
quality of life for many months or even years.
With this in mind, we set out to examine Australia’s long COVID guidelines,
services and public health information.
Our research found that compared to international standards, Australia is
generally slow to recognise and investigate possible cases of long COVID. We
also found the availability of multidisciplinary long COVID services was
lacking in Australia, as was accessibility of trustworthy public health
information."
