Description
CP-Achieve is offering PhD scholarships in the areas of:

Focussing on participants aged 10-30 years. Research Students will be supervised by at least one investigator from the CP-Achieve team.
We have two overarching aims:

- To build supportive family, community and health service environments.
We are seeking Research Students to undertake a PhD funded by the CRE in projects relating to the above aims. We welcome applications from Research Students from various academic disciplines, including: physiotherapists, paediatricians, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, psychologists and nurses.
Eligibility
