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.

How do I participate?

A number of former autoworkers who have previously participated in adjustment programs and surveys have been invited directly by Email or received an SMS to complete our surveys. These workers will be contacted over the phone to complete a survey. A $50 gift voucher will be provided as a thank you to respondents.

We will ask questions about workers’ employment histories, retraining, education and current circumstances. These questions will form part of a five-year study with surveys running once a year. The surveys will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Directly invited participants can complete the survey on the phone when they are called, or reorganise for another time.

If you prefer to organise a time to go through the questionnaire on the phone before being called, please call 1800 35 77 39 between Monday to Friday (8:30am to 8:30pm AEST) or email [email protected] (quote project number 30948).

Please make the time to read our Participation Information Sheet. This outlines important details of the project including risks, benefits and confidentiality.

We look forward to hearing from you!
