Welcome to the Listening Together Project

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

Researchers at the Australian National University are studying how young people with disability and young carers define good listening, and whether they feel listened to by the organizations and services in their lives.

Are you a person with a disability or a young carer aged 15-29, living in Australia?

Fill out one of these surveys about how you define good listening, and whether you feel listened to by the organizations and services in your lives!

There are two surveys to choose from: a long survey and a short survey, but both are co-designed by young people with disability and young carers.
