PhD scholarship in neighbourhoods that support the health of people with disability

This PhD scholarship is funded as part of a NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence. It seeks to understand the types of neighbourhoods that support health and wellbeing for Australians with disability. The project aims to identify which neighbourhood features support health and wellbeing for people with disability. The project expects to advance innovation by combining high-quality health and built environment data to generate knowledge shaping Australian disability policy and urban planning. Expected outcomes include new insights for how urban neighbourhoods can enable people with disability to thrive and a suite of end-user indicator tools to monitor their progress. Expected benefits include improved policy options and tools for government and advocates to plan and deliver more equitable neighbourhoods, and ultimately better participation, inclusion, and wellbeing for people with disability.
