Abstract
[Excerpt] The early and comprehensive public health biosecurity response to COVID‐19 in northern Australia undoubtedly has saved many lives in remote and rural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. However, the strict quarantine of remote and rural communities has also meant reduced access of communities to various services, including health services.1 For example, short‐term contract funded agency nurses or health professionals are unable or unwillingly to quarantine for two weeks (at a cost of AU$2,500) before entering communities. Equally, some communities may prefer not to be exposed to the risk of COVID‐19, but in either case, the result is reduced services.
