Welcome to our online peer support community for those impacted by Long COVID. It has been created to provide a safe space for people with experience with Long COVID to connect, share experiences, provide mutual emotional and practical support, identify treatment options, as well as provide access to reliable resources from trustworthy sources.

 

How does it work?

 

This is an open online community. This means that anybody can browse through the conversations happening in our online community without formally joining. To participate in the conversations you will need to create an account. Once you have done this, you can create your own discussion threads within the forum and contribute to other members' discussions.

 

We want this online community to be an engaging place where people can connect and share about all aspects of their Long COVID journey. That will include the highs, lows and everything in-between. Community members are also encouraged to share feedback about their experiences during Long COVID, including their broad treatment experiences and any insights into how things could be improved. This can help us work with clinicians, researchers, policy makers and service providers who are seeking to better understand the impacts of Long COVID and to help advocate for appropriate health policy and support services.

 

Who can join?

 

This space has been primarily created for anyone affected by Long COVID, either as an individual, as well as carers, family, friends and the broader community. Anyone in Australia and Australian residents living overseas can join, however, to be part of the online community you must be 18 or over and abide by the Community Guidelines.
