Our research during a pandemic

In 2020 the threat of COVID-19 brought skilled migration to a virtual stand-still in Australia. At the same time students of all ages found themselves enduring online home-schooling, and a significant proportion of them discovered the drawbacks of poor internet connectivity. In this episode, our researchers explain what data like this can tell us and how mapping findings can influence better decision-making and strategic outcomes for health, education, and economic benefits.
