01 Jul 2024 - 30 Jun 2027
The COACT (Community Outreach, Adaptation, Connection and Together) project aims to support CALD youth (12-25 years) to integrate into multicultural Townsville through an innovative two-year CO-ACTion buddy program. Buddies, matched based on the duration of living in Australia (less vs more than 5 years) with 100 CALD youth in each group, will participate in: 1) an 8-week mental wellbeing and resilience program (first year); 2) monthly CALD community activities (first and second years); and 3) outreach to connect with broader communities (second year). This project will support the participants to achieve successful adaptation through community outreach, connection and growing together.

While it was originally envisioned as supporting the review of coral taxonomy it has wider implications including the establishment of environmental baselines, identifying museum collections relevant to Pacific locations, and examining the impact of European contact over time.
Influence of Career Development Practitioners in Regional, Remote and Rural Communities
Ben Archer
03 May 2021
This research project investigates how career development services impact regional, remote, and rural Australian communities, with a focus on youth retention and migration patterns. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative exploration of young people's career development experiences with quantitative analysis of community-level data, the study aims to understand how these services can help youth either remain in or return to their communities after pursuing education and employment opportunities elsewhere. The findings are intended to guide policy and funding decisions regarding career development services in non-metropolitan areas, recognizing the vital role young people play in maintaining both human capital and socio-cultural vitality in their communities.
For the Provision of Research in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Inclusion in Queensland State Schools
Wili Suluma
06 Jan 2025 - 28 Nov 2025
Within this PAR model, CALD students are empowered as co-researchers and experts in their own lives, whom the study is ‘with’ rather than ‘about’ (Tsey et al., 2004). This PAR driven process will allow for robust data collection. A systemic integration and interpretations of the findings will be integral to the development of CALD student determined and targeted intervention that aligns with a holistic human rights-based approach. This research design will help provide evidence on the ways that CALD students feel a sense of belonging and most empowered to excel and thrive in Queensland state schools.
