The Australian Curriculum and Disability Standards for Education create high expectations for education of students with disabilities. Teachers are to address the diversity of student learning needs in their classes, and make adjustments to school-based assessments that enable students with disabilities to demonstrate their learning. Recent reports identify inconsistent practice in schools and the need for evidence-based guidance to inform these adjustments. This longitudinal project involves researcher-teacher collaboration and aims to identify effective assessment adjustments for secondary school students with disabilities, develop system-level protocols for adjustments, and meet national goals of improved education outcomes for these students.Read moreRead less

Through an investigation of the experience of five iconic Australian creators in the arts (Nellie Melba, Norman Lindsay, Ken Hall, Albert Namatjira and Alfred Hill) the project examines how copyright law actually worked and the extent to which it served the mutual interests of Australian creators and media owners. The project makes a unique and significant contribution to the history of Australian copyright law, a long neglected area of research. It builds a better understanding of the legal foundations to commercial success. Misunderstanding in this area currently causes difficulties in law reform processes.Read moreRead less

This project aims to comprehensively map the regulatory pathways that innovative health technologies must navigate from the laboratory to the clinic, and to identify areas of over and under regulation. Pathways for innovative procedures, medicines and devices will be analysed in three cutting edge case studies - genome editing, biologic medicines and bio-printing - with particular focus on therapeutic goods registration and patents. Doctrinal, qualitative and iterative research methods will be used. The primary intended outcome is a set of recommendations to assist policy makers in ensuring consistency of regulatory policy and practice, thereby supporting innovation and safe clinical translation, for the benefit of all Australians.Read moreRead less
