COVID-19 and the Law of Australia

COVID-19 and the Law of Australia, written by Emrys Nekvapil, Maya Narayan and Stephanie Brenker, is an online textbook, organised by subject area, providing guidance on the laws made by the legislature, executive and judiciary (and administrative tribunals) of the Commonwealth and each State and Territory in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This text is intended to provide readers with succinct, timely and accurate information about the interaction of COVID-19 and the law of Australia. The authors hope that it will assist practitioners to navigate the legal complexities of the pandemic, both in the immediate future and as the pandemic develops. Chapter 2, in particular, addresses the constitutional context in which law relating to COVID-19 is made.
