We are partnering with researchers at the University of Wollongong to conduct a study into young children’s screen use. This research will help develop a future health promotion campaign on healthy screen use for children aged 3-5 years.

If you live in south west Sydney and are a parent or caregiver of a child aged 3-5 years, we’d love to hear from you! We are asking parents or caregivers to complete a survey about their child’s screen use. The survey is available in English, Arabic and Vietnamese.
