The ANMF conducted a survey from 18 January to 11 February 2022 to explore the experiences of nurses, midwives, and assistants in nursing/personal care workers/aged care workers regarding the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic. The survey primarily focussed on the period of time since 1 December 2021 which roughly marks when many Australian State/Territory borders and social restrictions were eased and the SARS-CoV-2 ‘Omicron’ variant of concern began to emerge in Australia. This second report focusses solely on responses gathered from participants who worked in acute care settings (i.e. public and private hospitals).
