Public submissions are now closed

Public submissions to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned are now closed.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their story with the Inquiry. A vital part of the work of the Inquiry is hearing from Aotearoa New Zealanders about their experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The submissions we have received will be considered alongside other interviews conducted and evidence received to form the Inquiry's final report.

You can keep up with the work of the Inquiry by subscribing to our newsletter, visiting our website, or following the Inquiry on social media (Facebook and LinkedIn).

The opportunity to provide feedback on the terms of reference has also ended. This feedback will be provided to the Department of Internal Affairs, who will provide advice to the New Zealand Government ahead of any changes made to the terms of reference for the Inquiry. We expect to know more about the next steps later.
