Prospects for quality work and gender equality in frontline care work. Despite policy concerns about unmet demand for paid care, frontline care workers generally have poorer conditions than workers in other feminised sectors. This project will investigate the regulatory options to improve the quality of care work to build Australian expertise and knowledge about the links between job quality and quality of care services.

Experiencing stigma and discrimination harms health and wellbeing, and prevents people from being fully included in society. This project will help us understand how to best reduce stigma and discrimination, and to protect people from their negative effects.
