About the research project
This PhD scholarship builds upon the funded reablement project, in partnership with Family Based Care in Northern Tasmania. The study will explore ways in which clients and carers of clients of Family Based Care can be engaged better with the reablement process. Outcomes are likely to be structures and processes that provide better support for these clients and carers in the community. It fits into the Aged Care priority for the School of Nursing, as well as Health Services research.
Applicants may be considered for part-time candidature. In addition, the successful applicant (particularly if they are an Allied Health Professional) may be considered for part-time paid clinical work with Family Based Care in line with RTP guidelines.
