Australian Healthcare system has witnessed several waves of COVID-19 surge since March 2020. Faced with workforce shortage the health system managed to integrate medical resources available and innovate previous healthcare models to maintain its services while curbing the epidemic. The experience and strategies gained during the COVID-10 epidemic can be applied during routine and emergent health care practices post- pandemic period. Australian experiences would have implications for other countries and regions when they combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The strengths and weaknesses of the Australian Health Care System are also reflected via response to Pandemic.
