Response of authorities to COVID-19

Although Australians are supportive of increased global cooperation, more have expressed confidence in Australian authorities than in the World Health Organization. Almost all of the population express confidence in the performance of chief medical officers, with 92% very or somewhat confident they are ‘doing a good job’. Most (86%) are confident the state and territory governments are doing a good job, and 82% are very or somewhat confident the federal job is doing a good job in responding to the coronavirus outbreak. A smaller majority (59%) express confidence that the WHO is ‘doing a good job responding to the coronavirus outbreak’.
