The Australia Institute surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,000 Australians in May 2021 about their social and emotional states since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of these questions were first asked in 2011 and again in April 2020. By providing these polling results, The Australia Institute hopes to assist the committee in its investigation into loneliness and social isolation in Queensland, and provide insights into the changing state of social wellbeing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
