Developing strong, robust and high performing women football players. Women drop out of Australian football at a higher rate than men, often due to concerns about their physical capabilities and performance. Yet, coaches do not prioritise developing physical capacity (eg strength), due to perceived lack of relevance to football.

Women drop out of Australian football at a higher rate than men, often due to concerns about their physical capabilities and performance. Yet, coaches do not prioritise developing physical capacity (eg strength), due to perceived lack of relevance to football. In community Australian football players, this study will identify physical capacity elements relevant for football performance, assess the change across a typical season and the influence of gender and age. Combining sport science and engineering, smartphone videos and open-access software will be utilised to develop cost-effective methods to assess tackling skill. Findings will inform better training strategies for women, reducing injury, enhancing retention and physical activity. Read moreRead less

The aim of this study is to develop strategies to prevent the steep drop in school attendance rates of First Nation students as they transition from primary to secondary school. The project expects to generate effective culturally embedded support strategies. In partnership with communities, industry partners and schools we propose to consult, codesign and assess the effectiveness of peer-mentoring of primary school students by those from the same community who have successfully reached senior grades. The outcome is the evaluation of students’ experiences and ongoing attendance and attainments. Significant benefits are for students’ ongoing school engagement and academic success. Cultural and economic benefits are for all Australians.Read moreRead less

This project aims to improve accountability of dark alcohol advertising on digital platforms. Digital marketing practices are largely opaque, posing a critical challenge for regulation which traditionally relies on advertising being observable as a foundation for public accountability. This project will develop and translate cutting-edge approaches for monitoring dark advertising, building tools and expertise to observe digital advertising and ensure consumer protection and fair market practices in the digital era. The project benefits researchers, civil society, government and the public by providing new methods to examine and monitor harmful digital marketing practices and informing regulatory solutions to mitigate harms.Read moreRead less
