Higher degree by research students in Australia work full-time hours but receive $11.7k below the minimum wage. The Universities Accord recommended that the higher degree by research stipend should be increased to support junior researchers, we are campaigning for that to happen!

Sandya Streram presents on her systematic review of health behaviour interventions targeting students in the university setting @PLUSResNetwork webinar. 22 RCTs have been published in the last 10 years that have explored the impact of the interventions on mental health outcomes.

@LouFarrer shares her experience with a video-based intervention to improve the mental health of uni students. Reflections on the use of the intervention- if students started the videos they watched them, but challenge was getting them to start. Great learning for @PLUSResNetwork
