Support for Families

The MATRIX Family Fund is available to support those with young family and underage children (primary school age, 12yo, and below) who would otherwise not be able to participate in a MATRIX Program.

Applications are limited to applicants who will participate in a MATRIX research program that includes program organisers from one or more MATRIX full partners.

Program organisers and participants who wish to bring their family are eligible to apply for additional support from the MATRIX Family Fund. Support is assessed on a case-by-case basis and may include full or partial funding for domestic expenses.

The Creswick Campus has facilities on-site for nursing mothers.

A range of off-site accommodation suitable for families is listed on our Accommodation page.

The attendance of spouses at MATRIX programs is not financially supported.

Application process

Applicants should submit an argued case (not more than half a page) to the MATRIX Office. Please include the research program you will be attending.

The argued case needs to make a compelling case for the need to access the Fund, the significance of participation of the applicant, and how this will enhance their research.

Please contact the MATRIX Office for further information.
