The Hub
Our new Healthy Trajectories Child and Youth Disability Research Hub has been funded to complete research in line with the National Disability Research Agenda. This may include:
- How to support children with disability and their families in their early years.
- How schools and education can be more inclusive for all students.
- How we can improve health care pathways for people with disability.
- How we can improve the mental health and well-being of people with disability and their families.
Who can get involved?
- We are looking for family members of young people with a disability (mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, guardians, or carers)
- We are looking for a diverse group of people with experience of child-onset disabilities and from different community groups.
What will I be asked to do?
- Attend a 1 hour Zoom orientation session to learn about our research and how you can get involved.
- Contribute 2 to 4 hours per month providing feedback as an advisory partner for our research. We will support you to be involved in a way that works for you. You will have time to prepare for meetings in advance.
What are the benefits to you?
- This is a paid experience as we value your time and contribution to our research.
- You will have a chance to network with other family members, guardians or carers, within the community and researchers passionate about making a difference.
