• be relevant to mental health and/or suicide.

The study could also address (but not be limited to):

• evaluation or study of some element relevant to MATES or to inform the MATES program
• priority groups in relevant sectors such as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people, women, LGBTIQ+, migrant workers, FIFO, and young workers
• work related and non-work-related risks and protective factors for mental health and suicide
• other relevant topic.

Contact Rachel Brimelow if you would like to clarify if a project is in scope.

About the scholarship

The Allison Milner Memorial PhD Scholarship was established by MATES in Construction to honour the legacy of Associate Professor Allison Milner. Allison served as the National Academic Director of MATES from 2013 until her untimely passing in 2019. She was a prolific researcher who championed efforts to curtail the high suicide rate among workers, predominantly men, in blue-collar industries.

This scholarship is an important avenue through which talented and dedicated PhD candidates can be supported to continue the research highly valued by Allison, and the MATES team. The scholarship funds PhD research that addresses suicide prevention initiatives in male dominated, blue-collar industries within Australia.
