Are you a young person who has transitioned into Adult Mental Health Services? We would like to hear from you about your experiences. As a Research Buddy you will work closely with researchers to ensure that their research is informed and guided by young people who have experience with youth mental health care, and transitioning between care pathways.

Do you have a lived experience of Blood Cancer? We are looking for Research Buddies to ensure that this project’s design, implementation and outcomes are well informed and guided by people with experience in blood cancers.

Particularly lived experience of:

• Multiple Myeloma (MM)
• B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL)
• Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)

Researchers from Perth Children’s Hospital are seeking parents, carers and past patients to work with them on a new research project that aims to improve the nutrition of children in intensive care.

The investigation will focus on:

• the use of advanced technology to personalise nutrition in these children
• improved tube-feeding practices.

To ensure the study captures all perspectives, the researchers need consumers to be involved in all aspects of the project – from the study design phase to the final presentation of a research paper.

We seek people aged 18-24 years of age, with lived experience of Anorexia Nervosa to be a part of research project to help us design a treatment that better reflects what adolescents need during recovery. You will help decide how the sessions are structured, how long the treatment should be, what topics are important and how the treatment is delivered. This collaborative process ensures that the final intervention is practical, meaningful and grounded in real experiences.

Researchers invite those with lived experience of cataract, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol conditions, to help them, in developing an eye scanning device for older adults with rural, regional and remote areas. We are looking for Research Buddies to work across all stages of this project to make sure that it is informed and guided by people with eye and cardiac conditions.
