The Life during COVID-19 survey ran from May 1 to June 9 2020 and had 7,306 participants from around Australia. It was the first survey in the Families in Australia Survey series.

Our aim was to understand how Australian families coped with the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the greatest health, social and economic challenges in history. We focussed on how families:

• adjusted to the pandemic, and the restrictions and programs that were put in place
• experienced the social and economic impacts of the pandemic
• supported each other, even when they didn’t, or couldn’t, live together
• protected their physical and mental health.
