Research helps us find out answers to important questions.

By hearing directly from people with intellectual disability about what matters most in health care research, we can develop questions to guide National Research Priorities.

We are co-designing every aspect of the project.

We are working with established groups of lived-experience researchers and individual researchers.

We are using a range of creative approaches to collecting and analysing the data we collect, including through art and social media.

At the end of the project we will publish a list of priorities for health research as identified by a team of researchers with and without intellectual disability working together.

We will share what we find with other researchers in Australia.

Project timeline: 2024 to 2026
