• How has Covid-19 hit the Outback? What happens now?
• What are the differences in service delivery between urban Australia and Outback Australia?
• What policy change is necessary to ensure Outback communities are supported to thrive?
• What can we learn from the Outback and remote communities?
• Shared themes, opportunities and lessons emerge as the series progresses, enabling deeper cross-sectoral understanding, and identification of future Outback-appropriate policy development.
