About the survey

This is an important national survey that collects information about the Australian disability sector's readiness and acceptance of adopting virtual reality (VR) technology as part of its training practices.

Your participation is an opportunity to make a real difference. The information you provide will contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the disability sector's readiness to adopt VR technology as part of its training practices. The information you provide will help the sector make important decisions relating to training that will benefit the workforce, people with disability, and the wider community. These decisions relate to the planning and provision of services for carers, people with disability, and the needs of an ageing population.

Approximately 5 minutes.

No. There is no provision within the scope of this research project to reimburse people for providing statistical information.

The security of the information provided by participants is a priority and taken very seriously. Your information remains strictly confidential to the research team at Swinburne University and is not shared with any third party. It is kept securely in accordance with Swinburne University's data governance policies. We will use the information you provide strictly for this research.
