As the COVID-19 pandemic stretches well into its second year, Australia finds itself at an inflection point: how best to manage the pandemic, map a way out of it and ensure such responses are consistent with human rights.

The Australian Human Rights Institute has convened an expert panel of health, human rights and legal scholars to explore how to balance rights and responsibilities amidst COVID-19, including issues such as vaccine inequity, mandatory vaccination, vaccine passports, lockdowns, quarantine, and the role of local and international institutions in shaping these responses.
