Two Curtin researchers are working to improve the lives of disadvantaged, sick and vulnerable children and their families across Western Australia, supported by 2025 Telethon Grants.

Professor Yvonne Anderson (Dean and Head of Curtin Medical School) will lead the project ‘Evidence to action: transforming childhood obesity care’, while Dr Sarah Hellewell (Curtin Medical Research Institute) will lead the project ‘Inside and Out: Multifaceted exploration of adolescent concussion’ through the Perron Institute for Neurological and Translational Science.

Congratulations to Professor Anderson and Dr Hellewell on securing these highly competitive grants. A heartfelt thank you to The Channel 7 Telethon Trust and the WA community for their generous support.
