Children's Experiences of Mobile and Tablet Apps
The purpose of this project is to investigate 8- and 9-year-old children’s experiences, opinions, and understanding of recreational apps and games on mobile devices. We are interested in elements of apps and games that are not key parts of the games, such as advertisements or payment requests to access in-game items. This research will help us to understand whether children are able to recognise elements of apps and games that make requests of them or attempt to catch their attention, and how they feel these impact their experiences

INTERACT-EOC: International Study of Adult Experiences and Care Priorities in Early‑Onset Cancer: a mixed‑methods study
Early-onset cancers (EOCs) are cancers diagnosed in adults aged 20 to 49 years. The number of people diagnosed with these cancers is increasing worldwide. A cancer diagnosis at this stage of life can have a major impact on work, study, relationships, family life, and finances. However, the experiences and support needs of people living with and beyond EOCs are not yet fully understood. We are conducting this study to better understand the supportive care needs and priorities of people living with and beyond EOCs in Australia. The findings will help inform future services and support programs to better meet the needs of this population. This study is part of an international cancer survivorship research collaboration.

Director financial literacy and effective board governance
Given that all board directors are required to monitor the finances and financial monitoring failures are frequently reported, many directors have voiced concern that the bar has been raised too high. By investigating how director financial capability, motivation and boardroom dynamics influence financial monitoring, our research will provide evidence as to why boards experience monitoring failure and how directors, boards and regulators can strengthen financial monitoring, particularly in skills diverse boards.

Overlay for digital devices
We will test a screen overlay which fits on top of mobile phones in order to eliminate the need for reading spectacles. We want to know how well it performs. We want people in the age range 50-65 years with good distance vision without spectacles, but who have trouble with close work unless they use their spectacles. Reimbursement will be a $50 gift card for screening only, and this will be increased if suitable for the experiment to $100 gift cards on full testing.

The LEAP Study: longitudinal effects of protein supplementation and activity on muscular performance in older adults
We are inviting older adults to take part in a research study on nutrition and exercise and how these factors may affect muscle health. As people age, they may require increased nutrients and regular physical activity to help maintain strength and independence. This study will examine whether older adults are willing and able to consume a protein-containing beverage each day and participate in weekly strength training sessions. It will also help researchers better understand how nutrition and exercise together may influence muscle health in older adults.
