In Australia, the “Pandemic Kindness Movement” Aims to Support Health Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The movement was created by clinicians across Australia offering evidence-informed resources and links to valuable services to support the well-being of the health workforce. The health worker’s support is based on a hierarchy of needs reflecting the potential challenges faced by health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The movement connects health workers and communities through a range of acts of kindness, where different needs can be selected, ranging from basic needs, safety, love and belonging, esteem, contribution, and leadership actions, always having the health workforce well-being as a priority and focus. The aim of the Pandemic Kindness Movement is to provide health workers with easy access to curated resources to enable them to access the support they need. The movement also offers specific resources for aboriginal health workers as they may face specific challenges not covered by the general resources.
