Children deserve the best of our healthcare science. They deserve to receive their healthcare, without harm.

Our research program aims to eliminate healthcare-associated injuries, such as central line-associated bloodstream infection, thrombosis, extravasation injuries and medication error for children. We are achieving this aim by informing everyday clinical practices with innovation and high quality research trial data, then sustainably and effectively implementing evidence-based care into practice across Australian and international paediatric healthcare.

Our team also supports the development of research capacity across Children’s Health Queensland, particularly within nursing via mentorship, HDR training, and collaborative networks.

Our team and projects are fortunate to receive funding from NHMRC, MRFF, Cancer Council Queensland and commercial industry partners. Current active projects include:
