Government spending
The National Partnership on COVID-19 Response (NPCR) and spending on COVID–19 related programs by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care were two main sources of government spending.
State and territory governments may have contributed funding for COVID–19 outside of the NPCR, however this funding has not been included in this report as it was difficult to ensure the consistency of reporting across jurisdictions and accurately determine the source of the funding for each jurisdiction. It is reasonable to assume, however, that the NPCR captures the vast majority of state and territory government COVID–19 related spending.
