There are many ways you can get involved with our Healthy Trajectories child and youth disability research hub. Please explore our opportunities for lived experience consumers, researchers, organisations, practitioners, students, and volunteers below.
A team at the University of Melbourne are seeking adults with cerebral palsy, aged 25 to 65, who could walk independently for at least 5 metres during their adolescence (12 to 18 years), with or without mobility aids. Participants must currently be able to walk or transfer between positions independently, with or without aids, but without assistance from another person.
They recognise that you are often asked to complete surveys. If you complete this survey, they will enter you into a draw to win a $100 gift card.

Are you parenting a 5-18 year old? Does your child have experience living with a disability or life-limiting condition?
You may be eligible to participate in our research study.
What is the research about?
We would like to speak to a range of people who are parenting and their adolescents about their thoughts on a general health questionnaire. The questionnaire might be used in research or clinical health settings and asks children (or their parents) to report on general difficulties with their: ‘mobility’; ‘looking after myself’; ‘doing usual activities’; ‘pain/discomfort’; and ‘feeling worried, sad or unhappy’. We are interested in ways we might improve this questionnaire to better meet the needs of children and young people who are living with life-limiting conditions or disability. The interviews would go for 45 minutes to 1 hour. You will be reimbursed for your time.
How to get started?
Please complete a short survey to express interest in participating in the study here.
We will only be selecting a small number of participants, and we aim to reach people with a range of different experiences. We may not contact everyone who completes the expression of interest survey.
