Description:
One in four Australia children arrives at School with a delay in one or more of the core developmental domains required for learning, mental and physical health. With Health and Wellbeing Queensland & Children's Health Queensland Hospital and Health Service as partners, and through a major investment from UQ, the HERA 360 Kids Community Network will recruit world-leading researchers in child health to make sure all children are ready to learn and develop optimally to realise their full potential.
This five-year program is led by Prof John Cairney, and includes Dr Keane Wheeler from HMNS, amongst many other CIs from across UQ.
