Our studies span early childhood through to higher education and we lead the way in cutting edge interventions. Our research builds evidence-based knowledge and identifies solutions that improve learning and quality of life for all people, especially those experiencing inequity, disadvantage, on the margins and at risk.
We host a team of eminent researchers and international scholars, research students, and professional staff working in a range of capacities to support our research.
Applications to the PhD and MPhil programs will re-open for domestic and international Higher Degree Research candidates later in 2021.
