A living legacy to give children the best start to life

In 2023 Dr Bryanne Barnett AM created the Barnett Early Parenting Research and Collaboration grant. The grant supports longitudinal research measuring outcomes in early parenting to inform changes so children can have the best start in life.

“All my life I have been interested in what makes some families and relationships happy and thriving while others suffer, and what would help. Needless to say, I learned a lot from what worked or didn’t when I tried to help younger children at school, then fellow students at university, and young registrars when I was Senior Registrar or a Unit Director. I am still learning, and I want to support promising research, interventions and our many dedicated colleagues to make advances in this area.”
