About this scholarship

 

Are you interested in helping the voices of children and young people be heard?

A high benefit supplementary PhD scholarship and flexible field of study project is being offered by the Population Health Exchange (PHXchange) ANU. 

This supplementary scholarship is funded by the Relationships Australia Federation and led by Relationships Australia Canberra & Region in association with the Relationships Australia National Research Network.

The successful applicant will conduct research which develops evidence informed approach/es to including the voices of young people and children in service design, delivery and evaluation.

The research will be embedded in a real-world setting, with the PhD candidate working directly with the Relationships Australia (Canberra & Region) and collaborating with several other Relationships Australia State and Territory organisations.

This is a terrific opportunity for a PhD candidate who wants to conduct research that will inform improvements in community services for Australian children, young people, and their families and/or carers.
