Healthy and working life expectancies in an ageing Australia. This project aims to identify social circumstances that optimise healthy and working life years in Australia. The project draws on international multidisciplinary expertise to critically evaluate social variation and inequalities in the years older adults live in good health and are engaged in work. Expected outcomes include the generation of new policy-relevant knowledge on older workers, active retirement, and healthy ageing which w ....Healthy and working life expectancies in an ageing Australia. This project aims to identify social circumstances that optimise healthy and working life years in Australia. The project draws on international multidisciplinary expertise to critically evaluate social variation and inequalities in the years older adults live in good health and are engaged in work. Expected outcomes include the generation of new policy-relevant knowledge on older workers, active retirement, and healthy ageing which will advance the field of life course epidemiology and inform the debate about Australia’s future ageing. This project should provide benefits for individual wellbeing, and provide evidence that can inform long-term public policy on health, work, welfare, and retirement.Read moreRead less
Vulnerability and resilience in Indonesian women suffering from cancer. This project aims to investigate the social processes shaping middle-aged women’s vulnerability and resilience to cervical cancer in Indonesia.

The project will provide significant research training for Australian ....Vulnerability and resilience in Indonesian women suffering from cancer. This project aims to investigate the social processes shaping middle-aged women’s vulnerability and resilience to cervical cancer in Indonesia. This project will generate a new interdisciplinary approach to investigating how different factors such as age, socioeconomic status and gender intersect to influence women’s vulnerability across their life course. The project will provide significant research training for Australians and Indonesians, extensive international collaboration, and a better understanding of how to reduce health disparities among vulnerable groups.Read moreRead less
Migrant and Refugee Youths' Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. The population of migrant and refugee youth in Greater Western Sydney is increasing exponentially each year. Little is understood about these young people’s understanding of and ability to exert their sexual and reproductive health and rights. By centering their voices, we can better understand the social ecology of the barriers they encounter and the factors that facilitate informed sexual and reproductive health decision-ma ....Migrant and Refugee Youths' Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. The population of migrant and refugee youth in Greater Western Sydney is increasing exponentially each year. Little is understood about these young people’s understanding of and ability to exert their sexual and reproductive health and rights. By centering their voices, we can better understand the social ecology of the barriers they encounter and the factors that facilitate informed sexual and reproductive health decision-making. This will result in a youth-determined model for policy and programming aimed at improving migrant and refugee sexual and reproductive health literacy, wellbeing and agency.Read moreRead less

Giving Mums a fair go: culturally-responsive care for refugees and migrants. More than one-third of women giving birth in Australia are refugees or migrants, who have poorer pregnancy and childbirth experiences and outcomes compared to Australian-born women. This project uses an intersectional lens to explore how lived experiences of gender inequality, racism, and migration contribute to social disadvantage and poor experiences of maternal health. A participatory research approach will be used t ....Giving Mums a fair go: culturally-responsive care for refugees and migrants. More than one-third of women giving birth in Australia are refugees or migrants, who have poorer pregnancy and childbirth experiences and outcomes compared to Australian-born women. This project uses an intersectional lens to explore how lived experiences of gender inequality, racism, and migration contribute to social disadvantage and poor experiences of maternal health. A participatory research approach will be used to engage with refugee and migrant women and provide them with an opportunity to share their stories in their own voices. Knowledge generated will increase understanding of why these women have poorer pregnancy and childbirth experiences, and potential solutions will be co-developed to address these inequalities in the future.Read moreRead less
