Health researchers at Curtin University want to hear from you to ensure the work they do meets your needs and the needs of your community. By having a say in health research, you can help to ensure the right research is done and make a difference.
Researchers at Curtin want to improve their understanding of why dementia disproportionately affects women by bringing together the best available evidence on women’s dementia risk across the life course. They are looking for five women aged 45+ to form a Consumer Advisory Group to advise on the research from a lived experience perspective.
A Consumer Reference Group for planning health pregnancies was established in 2017 at Curtin University’s School of Population Health. Given the expanding scope of the research program, the research team would now like to involve new community members to share their perspectives and experiences.
The Curtin Consumer-led Research Education and Support Training (CREST) Program is an online training program that aims to educate and upskill consumers and community members with the fundamental principles of research, and to gain the skills to co-design and lead health projects in partnership with researchers and stakeholders.
Applications are now open for the 2026 intake.
