This PhD is part of an MRFF-funded multidisciplinary primary care project focused on integrating frailty measurement into Australian primary care and developing decision-support tools for comprehensive frailty management.

Applicants should have a background in economics, statistics, health, or a related area, with strong analysis and writing skills, communication skills, and evidence of research ability. A Masters by Research, a Masters with substantial research, or an Honours degree (Class 1 or Class 2 Division A), or equivalent research experience, is preferred. Experience in primary care, economics/statistics in health, publications, conference presentations, or quality improvement projects is desirable.
Funding includes a living stipend for up to three years. Eligible Australian and New Zealand citizens and Australian permanent residents may also receive a tuition fee waiver through the Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP).
