Seeking Carers to Participate in a Monash University Research Study.

A Master of Clinical Psychology student at Monash University is conducting a research study exploring the wellbeing, support needs, and experiences of unpaid carers who support someone living with a psychotic disorder (such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder) or bipolar disorder in Australia.

The study aims to better understand carers' experiences and support needs so that future services, programs, and policies can be more responsive to carers and families.

Unpaid carers who are interested in participating are invited to complete an online survey, which takes approximately 60 minutes. Participants can also choose to enter a prize draw to win a $100 gift voucher.

The study has been approved by the Monash University Human Research Ethics Committee and will remain open until December 2027.
