We need your help!

You’re invited to participate in a research project investigating the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the WA community.

Had COVID-19?

There is a lot that we don’t yet understand about existing COVID-19 infections and the long-term effects of COVID-19. This research project will gain important information about your COVID-19 infection so we can try to find better ways to manage and treat this infection in the future.

COVID-19 has affected us all but in some there are ongoing issues. It is not clear in whom and what the long-term effects of COVID-19 may be. The IMPALA team are looking for your help to follow up those people who have had COVID-19 infection in the WA community. This project is being run by UWA and the Australian National Phenome Centre  will gain important information about the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the Western Australian community, so we can try to find better ways to manage and treat this infection in the future.

Who is participating?

If you are 18 years or older and have previously experienced a COVID-19 infection and live in Western Australia, you are invited to participate in this research project.
