With no end in sight to Australia's closed international borders, the emotional toll of being separated from loved ones is starting to have a very severe impact on the nearly 1 in 3 Aussies who were born overseas.

For millions of us, countless missed birthdays, weddings, funerals and other milestones is taking a real mental and sometimes even physical toll on our wellbeing, and that's not to mention the impact on those who are locked out of the country and miss a final opportunity to see a loved one before they die.

The Quicky speaks to an intensive care doctor, her partner who is stuck overseas, and a psychologist to find out just how bad the situation has become, and how much more we can all realistically take.
