Events and Training

Have you received cancer treatment in the last five years while living in the Great Southern? We’re inviting consumers to express interest in taking part in a research project using Photovoice, a creative method that uses photography and storytelling to explore how people access (or struggle to access) exercise support during cancer care. Your insights will help shape better services for others. This project is part of an approved research study conducted through Edith Cowan University (2025-06525-KENNEDY).

This Community Conversation will allow facilitation of informal, open conversation around the topic on consumer initiated medicine review to optimise medicine regimes to align with their priorities and treatment goals. This will allow researchers to obtain a range of opinions and views from a group of people with relevant lived experience. The key themes and ideas from this Community Conversation will be used to inform current or future research projects in this space.

Join us for a Community Conversation to help shape the future of CaRER-Tech; an innovative, home-based cognitive rehabilitation platform designed to support older adults experiencing memory loss, cognitive decline or dementia. In this interactive online session, you’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences, ideas, and hopes for improving brain health and daily living. Your insights will directly guide how CaRER-Tech is designed to be accessible, practical, and meaningful for people ageing at home and for those who care for them. Together, we can make a real difference in creating technology that supports healthy ageing, independence, and connection in our communities.

Do you live with osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, bone cancer or other bone or joint conditions, or care for someone who does? Researchers from The University of Western Australia are hosting a Community Conversation to hear your experiences of living with skeletal disorders and how these conditions, and their treatments affect everyday life. Together we’ll explore what matters most to you, including your thoughts on how nutrition and metabolism might help prevent or treat bone problems. Your insights will help shape future bone health research and strengthen funding applications so they better reflect the priorities of people with lived experience.
