Australia's struggling Long COVID community say the government’s financial support is inadequate.
Over the past year, Daniel* has calculated he has racked up more than $100,000 in bills from hospital visits, medical tests, specialist appointments and medication — all because of Long COVID . The 25-year-old takes up to 20 tablets a day, regularly feels fatigued, struggles with cognition and focus, and often experiences chest pain and fluctuating blood pressure.
But the Australia Long COVID Community Group, and Long COVID Support Australia, said these services — and the government’s response to the inquiry — fall short of the support needed. “There is zero mention of financial support for Long COVID sufferers who are unable to work and do not qualify for existing supports,” they said in a statement.
