10 September 2020 - The Philippine Embassy in Canberra invites Filipinos in Australia to take part in the ApartTogether Survey, a collaboration between the WHO and its regional offices, the UN System, and a consortium of research centers led by Ghent University (Belgium) and University of Copenhagen (Denmark), which aims to better understand the psychosocial impact of COVID-19 on refugees and migrants.

The target respondents are:

1. Filipinos who have migrated to Australia including their Philippine-born children aged 16 years old and above;
2. Filipinos working in Australia, OFW, including those who lost their jobs and were stranded due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Responses from Filipino participants will ensure that Filipino experiences are taken into consideration in any new formulated policies due to COVID-19. Personal details will not be asked and it will only take 20 minutes to accomplish it. Survey forms can be accessed through the following links:
