Children and Young People

We conduct research that addresses real world problems and increases the knowledge and evidence related to the health and wellbeing of children and families from the community to tertiary level care.

Our research is organised into the following themes:

Optimising outcomes in acute and critical illness
Improving CYP mental health
Preventing and responding to child abuse
Child empowerment and advocacy
