While the health impacts of COVID-19 were far less than expected in Australia, the community service sector was on the front line for those seeing financial and mental health impacts. Aussie researchers surveyed Australian community service organisations through the pandemic, and found staff were most concerned about families with children, young people, migrants and refugees and those with mental health issues. Later in the pandemic, the sector found itself stepping up to support an influx of people ineligible for support from the government.
