The SPHRR project is developing practical, easy-to-use health information resources specifically designed for older Queenslanders. These resources aim to improve awareness of supports and services related to:
Suicide prevention
Mental wellbeing
Alcohol and other drug use (including medications)
Gambling harm
Participants will take part in small group discussions (approximately 2–3 hours) to review draft resources and provide feedback. Your input will help ensure the resources are:
Clear and easy to understand
Respectful and culturally appropriate
Relevant to the experiences of older people
We aim to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive space where everyone feels heard. There is no expectation to share personal experiences.
Who can participate?Participants must:
Live in Queensland
Be aged 65 years or over
Have an interest in health and wellbeing for older people
Participants will receive payment for the time spent in the consultation. More details are available in the Project Information Sheet.
