Parent newsletter – Issue 1

Hi there, my name is Dr Lisa Mundy and I am the Program Lead for the Growing Up in Australia study at the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS). 

My team and I are responsible for developing the surveys that make up the Growing Up in Australia study. We are an experienced and knowledgeable group who work hard to ensure your experience of our survey is the best it can be. Recently, we have been working on your next survey. We do this in consultation with researchers from a wide range of disciplines, including child and adolescent development, sociology, epidemiology, public health, family studies, psychology, mental health, education and employment, and economics – some who have been with the study since it began! 

We are also working closely with Roy Morgan, our new fieldwork partner, to ensure you and your family are central to everything we do. 

This breadth of expertise ensures that the Growing Up in Australia survey that you complete continues to produce evidence and has purpose. 

We are incredibly grateful for your contribution in assisting Australian families and Australian children through this incredible study thus far. 

With thanks and kind regards, 
Dr Lisa Mundy
