The lived experience of parenting a child with a lifelong mobility issue in rural Australia

About the study

Many children with lifelong health issues require the use of mobility equipment to be able to move around their home, school and community. Living in rural Australia can affect how easy it is to access the mobility equipment a child needs. We are hoping to speak with people living in rural Australia, about their experiences of parenting a child with lifelong mobility issues.

Who can participate?

Anyone living in rural Australia who is a parent or guardian of a child with a lifelong health issue which impacts their mobility.

What is involved?

Taking part in a one off interview which can be conducted face to face or via Zoom. You will be asked questions about your experiences of parenting a child with lifelong mobility issues.
