Consumer voices on Covid-19

What are consumers and consumer organisations saying about living with Covid in NSW? We met with our COVID consumer taskforces to discuss the current issues impacting consumers and consumer organisations and collected experiences through Amplify. We spoke to consumer leaders and consumer organisations from around NSW and this is what we are hearing.
