Information about public submissions to the Royal Commission
A vital part of the work of the Inquiry is hearing from members of the public.
Phase Two of the Inquiry is currently underway, working to assess the topics laid out in the Phase Two Terms of Reference. As part of our work, we will be asking for public submissions on these topics from early 2025.
It is also important to highlight that Phase Two will be assessing a specific list of topics that are laid out in the terms of reference. We will only be able to consider submissions and evidence and make recommendations to the Government on the matters outlined in the terms of reference.
We will have more information available soon on the process for making a public submission. Ahead of public submissions formally opening in early 2025, you can contact the Inquiry at InquiryintoCOVID-19lessons@dia.govt.nz if you need more information, or to make an early submission. If you would like to receive direct updates on public submissions and the other work of the Inquiry, you can subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on our social media channels: Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram.
