Why: Creating communities that are genuinely inclusive of people with intellectual disability requires critical reflection on how design shapes belonging, safety, and participation. Public and architectural spaces are never neutral; the choices made in their design can empower some people while unintentionally excluding others. This project responds to the need to rethink what ‘inclusion’ means in practice, and how the built environment can actively support dignity, agency, and community life for people with intellectual disability.

Medication safety in aged care depends on more than policies and procedures, it relies on shared insight, trust, and timely conversations between the people who live, work, and provide care in these settings. Too often, opportunities to identify medication-related risks or concerns are missed because there is no regular, inclusive forum to surface them. Medication Safety Needs Rounds address this gap by creating a structured, collaborative space focused on early identification of medication safety needs and more responsive, person-centred care.

Pain Science Education and other active management strategies are recommended as first line care for chronic pain conditions. Yet, in private physiotherapy practice, providing education and educational materials to patients can be difficult, particularly where patients are seeking passive treatments.  

The Royal Adelaide Hospital invested significantly in the development of courtyard gardens and public artworks to improve the experience of the hospital environment. Many visitors engage only passively with these courtyards and artworks, leading to the identification of an opportunity to create a reason for people to engage. 

Reboot STEMM was an initiative of the Australian Academy of Sciences and AAMRI to capture the diversity of experiences of early and mid career researchers in Australia. A limited number of permanent academic roles means early and mid-career researchers often face precarious employment, and very high expectations, that are often not compatible with enabling diversity.  

Downsizing to an apartment is often called for in policy as a way of releasing existing supply, and has been accelerating as a trend as people discover the benefits of living in better serviced areas and environments.  

Knee Osteoarthritis is a significant contributor to Australia’s burden of disease. Despite conservative treatment recommended as first line care, surgery is often considered a foregone conclusion by those with the condition. Accessing information about active management can be difficult, and people with OA are often presented with conflicting information.
