Operation COVID-19 Assist

Operation COVID-19 Assist

 

Over the past 18 months, we, along with the rest of the nation, have been proud of the efforts of the Australian Defence Force personnel and Reservists involved in Operation COVID-19 Assist.

Over 3,000 personnel have been deployed as part of the nationwide operation, which has included the ADF supporting law enforcement agencies with monitoring mandatory quarantine arrangements.

Additionally, the ADF has:

  • Established the three-star-led COVID-19 Taskforce to coordinate Defence’s internal response to COVID-19 and support the whole-ofgovernment effort.
  • Supported Emergency Management Australia-led (EMA) planning for the National Communicable Disease Incidence of National Significance Plan in response to COVID-19.
  • Supported the Department of Health with logistics and specialist staff.
  • Supplied clinical and epidemiological support to the Department of Health National Incident Room since early February 2020.
  • Supported non-government organisations in Sydney to prepare and distribute food care packages to those in need.
