Join our community

At The Kids Research Institute Australia, we believe the best research happens when we work closely with the people it’s designed to help.

Community partnership is a big part of what we do. We regularly connect with families, caregivers, and local organisations to ensure their voices help shape our research from start to finish. Whether it’s through conversations, involvement in research projects, community events, or ongoing collaborations, we’re committed to listening, learning, and working together to improve the health and wellbeing of kids and families everywhere. This inclusive approach not only strengthens the impact of our work but also empowers communities to shape the future of child health and wellbeing.

It’s not just about research – it’s about making a difference, together.

Join CONNECT

Community is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in working with our community to make a real difference in the lives of kids and families through our child health research. CONNECT is a dedicated community engagement program that brings together passionate individuals who want to make a difference and become champions for healthier futures for our kids.

Together, we can drive change, shape better health outcomes and bring research to life.

Help shape our Research

We believe the best research happens in partnership with the people it’s designed to help. The Kids offers meaningful opportunities for parents, carers and young people to get involved in shaping child health research. From joining advisory groups and being involved in projects to sharing lived experience and helping translate findings into action, your voice is vital.

Training and Resources

We are dedicated to empowering parents, caregivers, and communities with evidence-based training and accessible resources. Our goal is to bridge the gap between research and real-life impact – helping families make informed decisions, advocate for children’s health and build happy healthy futures together.
