Participation

This project will look at the impacts of plant closures and mass retrenchment on workers and their families, and how they and their communities may best transition into the future. In particular, we want to know how retrenchment impacts people’s working lives, retraining, education and health. Our study will investigate these issues and provide feedback to companies and governments across Australia on how services and supports can work better in the future.

Participants have been directly invited to participate in the Future Work, Future Communities research project. Former autoworkers have been invited to participate in our:

Longitudinal survey for retrenched autoworkers

Participants who participated in the 2021 round of the longitudinal survey will be recontacted between May and July 2022 to see how their circumstances may have changed.

More information regarding these interviews, including participant information and who will be conducting them, will be published early next year.

In-depth interviews

We have directly invited participants of the longitudinal survey to gain an in-depth understanding of their circumstances. We are currently running one set of interviews
