Recent staff award winners

Dr Tim Moore - Carers Australia and the St Vincent de Paul Society
Dr Moore, Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Child Protection Studies, has undertaken pioneering and ongoing work with young carers, as founder of the St Nicholas Young Carers Program with the St Vincent de Paul Society. His involvement in research into young adults as carers, their access to services, the impact of caring upon their education, and their care for a parent, often with a drug or alcohol problem is a compelling expression of the University's commitment to justice and equity. This research work encourages celebration of a young carers' contribution to their families and the community, but also recognition of their own vulnerability and isolation. Dr Moore has also worked for recognition of their right to equitable treatment in accessing and undertaking university education.
