Postgraduate Scholarship-Health and Safety in Homecare (Youth Services), Australia

One postgraduate scholarship is available for a suitably qualified candidate with a good Honours degree in a social or health science discipline to undertake research studies leading to a PhD in occupational health. This scholarship is funded by an ARC Linkage Projects grant and will provide support for three years on a full-time basis. The successful candidate will join a research team in a dynamic and stimulating work environment. The project is titled Caring for the Carers: Occupational Health and Safety in Homecare. The provision of home-based care is a significant and growing area of employment in Australia. Homecare workers support very vulnerable clients. At the same time, they are themselves exposed to significant health and safety risks, which have not been widely investigated. The project will identify OHS risks and hazards in homecare work. The PhD student’s research will examine OHS risks and hazards in one type of homecare work – youth services. Their research will contribute to the development of interventions to secure healthier, safer and more sustainable workplaces for homecare workers.
