Applying methods from computational social science, this project aims to develop a novel, multi-level modeling framework to assist transport injury, workplace injury and disability insurance schemes consistently achieve and maintain standards of high performance as recognised by international benchmarks. By creating a virtual laboratory for policy-makers and scheme managers, it expects to generate a comprehensive understanding of mechanisms driving insurance scheme performance, enabling comparison of anticipated outcomes in response to legislative changes, policy changes and management decisions. The project aims to help schemes avoid human and financial failure, benefitting people with injuries and disabilities while reducing scheme costs.Read moreRead less

This project aims to investigate interpreting practice with First Nations Peoples. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of healthcare interpreting using an ethnographic and micro-analytical approach to actual in situ interpreter mediated interactions. Expected outcomes include enhanced capacity to improve interpreter service delivery for First Nations Peoples via the development of resources for best-practice communication in plain language and Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in Western Australia. This should provide significant benefits such as improving First Nations Peoples’ wellbeing and interpreter and practitioner health literacy, as well as enabling governing bodies to finetune multilingual policies.Read moreRead less
