Our team

The Children’s Voices Centre brings together a diverse team of passionate researchers who undertake transformative research using interdisciplinary approaches.

We are a team of interdisciplinary researchers who are experts in education, nursing, allied health (speech-language pathology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, social work, paramedicine), communications, media, data science, and more.

Children are active co-researchers and participants in designing solutions to personal and societal issues ensuring that children have a direct say in their futures.
