I am a PhD candidate in the Law School. My field of interest is the new National Disability Insurance Scheme and why it was concluded with practically no debate, that government run care and support systems should be outsourced to the church and charitable sectors. What does this say about the status of some of the most vulnerable in society and their place as citizens?
Higher degree research can be a very insular and individual experience, if you make the mistake of letting it be that way. HDR Mentors gives you a community and a perspective. Everyone has similar frustrations, challenges, and questions. Usually, another mentor has experienced whatever you are facing now, so draw on collective knowledge and meet new people doing fascinating things.URL https://students.mq.edu.au/study/hdr/tools-support/mentors/community/hdr-mentor-profiles Persons Adam Johnston
