This chapter is part of a collection highlighting the multitude of ways in which Australians have been impacted in 2020 by the coronavirus pandemic. It draws on the data collected by the Melbourne Institute's Taking the Pulse of the Nation survey. There were 24 waves of the survey in 2020, spanning eight months from 6 April to 6 December, designed to track changes in the economic and social wellbeing of Australians living through the effects of the pandemic while adapting to various changes in Federal and State government policies.
