About the webinar series

The crisis sparked by Covid-19 has had a profound impact on our lives. Whilst the immediate crisis will pass, its social and economic consequences will be long lasting. We risk seeing deeper inequality and loss of opportunity for people who were already disadvantaged in the labour market. We could use the recovery phase to build a more inclusive labour market, in which all Australians can thrive.

In SVA’s ‘Towards an inclusive recovery’ webinar series, we will host a range of conversations with thought leaders and experts to explore what an inclusive recovery of the labour market might look like.
