Listening Together

Welcome to the Listening Together Project.

Research designed by, and for, young people with disability and young carers.

The Listening Together research team made two accessible surveys for young people with disability and young carers, to find out about their experiences of being heard by the people and services in their lives. We have now published a report that talks about the findings from the surveys. There is a full report, a shorter version, and an Easy Read version.

Read the report.

The surveys are now closed, but we will be holding interviews and focus groups around Australia soon. If you are interested in participating in the research, click the button below.

I would like to participate in an interview or focus group discussion.
