Exploring notions of fathering and positive male role modelling among migrant, refugee and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men: A pilot study in the Darwin region

Exploring notions of fathering and positive male role modelling among migrant, refugee and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men: A pilot study in the Darwin region

This research program aims to advance our understanding of how migrant fathers navigate and negotiate their decisions about work and care in Australia. It is envisaged this project will be scaled to national contexts and potentially other vulnerable groups of fathers over the longer term, to inform policy and practice.

Pre-conception health, sperm health and child health outcomes

Pre-conception health, sperm health and child health outcomes

The responsibilities of fatherhood start well before conception. Our research examines the biology of how disease risk is transferred via sperm and use this knowledge to develop tests of risk and interventions targeting men at the family planning stage.
