The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on Australians, from lives to lifestyles to every aspect of our economy. Immediate crisis management is vital. But as a national association of employers, Ai Group recognises the importance of a deep consideration of how best Australia as a nation and our states, territories, regions and communities can recover, rebuild and reposition for a stronger and better economy and society over the long term.
Ai Group sees economic and social strength as going hand-in-hand. The fundamentals are building a more dynamic and higher productivity economy; achieving a more inclusive economy and society; and ensuring that Australia moves decisively to net zero emissions by 2050.
Ai Group has developed a set of Post Pandemic Policy Papers with recommendations across many fundamental areas of public policy to help achieve these ambitions. You can view a summary of the framework behind these papers in our Recover, rebuild and reposition - Post pandemic policy document.
