Advisory Group Recruitment

A pink recruitment flyer for Kim Andreassen’s PhD research at Curtin University. The heading reads “Kim Andreassen’s PhD Research – Youth Disability Advisory Committee.” Below are four questions: “Do you identify as a person with disability? Are you between 12–25 years of age? Do you like easy read? Are you happy to talk about consent?” The flyer invites people who answer yes to help design a research project and includes a QR code to apply. At the bottom are contact details for Kim (email provided) and a note that the study is approved by Curtin University HREC (2025 0135). The flyer includes illustrations of raised hands in different skin tones.

If you are a young person with disability in Perth (WA) and are passionate about making consent education safer, clearer, and more accessible for disabled young people, I’d love to hear from you.

We are inviting young people with disability in Perth (WA) to join the Youth Disability Advisory Committee for my PhD project on accessible consent education for 12–16‑year‑olds.

We’re looking for committee members who:
• are 12–25 years old and able to travel to Curtin University
• identify as a person with disability, including those who prefer: audio options, low‑text materials, visual supports, Easy English, or non‑speaking communication
• are comfortable talking about consent
• non‑speaking people or those who use AAC are very welcome.

You will help shape the research and ethics process to ensure the project can build resources, ideas, and teaching approaches that genuinely work for disabled young people.
