Community Partner

The Doherty Institute has established the Community Partnership Program to bring lived experience and community perspectives to its important work of improving health outcomes. The Doherty Institute is looking for Community Partners, as part of its Community Partnership Program (CPP). The program aims to pair community partners with research groups, supporting the development of long-term and collaborative partnerships.

Community partners will function as a representative voice for people affected by or at increased risk of infectious diseases, immune-related disorders, or illness where immunotherapy plays a critical role, such as cancer. This is a fantastic opportunity for community members to directly engage with researchers and shape research design and outcomes. 

Community partners will be reimbursed for their time and effort. Opportunities for development through training and seminars will be provided periodically.

Applications can be submitted via this online form. Applicants will be asked to summarise their skills, experience and motivations for joining the program.

For more information see the Recruitment Brief and Terms of Reference or reach out to the Community Engagement Project Officer Nell Ayers (nell.ayers@unimelb.edu.au). 

Applications ongoing.
