National COVID-19 Commission Advisory Board

COVID-19 economic advisory board of the Australian Government

This article is about the economic advisory board of the Australian Government during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the intergovernmental decision-making body during the pandemic, see National Cabinet.

The National COVID-19 Commission Advisory Board (NCC) was the Australian Government strategic advisory board for the national economic recovery to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Originally formed as the National COVID-19 Coordination Commission on 25 March 2020, Prime Minister Scott Morrison described the body as responsible for advising the government on public–private partnerships and coordination to mitigate the social and economic impacts of the pandemic in Australia.[2][3][4][5] On 22 July 2020, the commission was renamed the National COVID-19 Commission Advisory Board to better reflect the advisory, not executive, nature of the body.[1][6]
