Funding from unding grant from Maridulu Budyari Gumal’s Healthy Urban Environments Clinical Academic Group

Christopher Standen, Fiona Haigh and Patrick Harris, with colleagues from the School of Population Health, UNSW City Futures Research Centre, NSW Ministry of Health, Sydney Children’s Hospital Network and UTS, have won a seed funding grant from Maridulu Budyari Gumal’s Healthy Urban Environments Clinical Academic Group – for a pilot project to develop and trial a quasi-experimental, longitudinal health study of the Waterloo public housing estate redevelopment. In partnership with the Sydney Local Health District, the study will not only assess residents’ psychological and physical health throughout the redevelopment process, but also respond to any negative impacts – through referral of residents to appropriate services, and informing health and human services planning and delivery for the affected community.
