| 1 | Healthcare resource utilisation following COVID-19 according to vaccination status | National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) and Australian Institute of Health and Welfare | COVID-19 is thought to result in longer-term impacts on health however there is limited evidence on the patterns of healthcare resource utilisation following a COVID-19 diagnosis, and how this might differ by population groups e.g. by vaccination status, comorbidities and demographic factors. This project aims to quantify the impact of COVID-19 on the utilisation of healthcare resources among these populations in Australia. | 2022 | In progress |
| 2 | Health and mortality outcomes for people living with dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare | This project aims to explore the direct and indirect impact of COVID-19 on people living with dementia in Australia. The purpose is to use COVID-19 register data to better understand the factors associated with adverse outcomes for people living with dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to contribute to planning and preparedness strategies for future outbreak and pandemic scenarios. | 2023 | In progress |
| 3 | The impact of COVID-19 in rural Australia | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare | This project aims to describe the impact of COVID-19 in rural and remote areas, including the incidence of COVID-19, access to testing, vaccination and treatment, severe outcomes and post-acute outcomes. | 2023 | In progress |
| 4 | Estimating COVID-19 health and aged care related expenditure and service utilisation | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare | This project aims to estimate expenditure associated with positive cases of COVID-19 in Australia. It will also look at patterns of health and aged care service use and medications dispensed in the 4 weeks following a COVID-19 diagnosis (acute cases) and the health and aged care service use and medications dispensed for long COVID cases (includes ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndrome), compared to a relevant period prior to diagnosis. | 2023 | In progress |
| 5 | Post-acute COVID-19 Outcomes Study | National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) | To inform government priority in health services planning in Australia, this project aims to comprehensively evaluate the risk of some long-term health outcomes following COVID-19 infection (including but not limited to cardiovascular, chronic lung diseases and metabolic morbidity that has been purported to occur following COVID-19 infection) and quantify how vaccination and antiviral treatments may alter the clinical course. | 2023 | In progress |
