Lived Experience and Co-Production
Research and research translation should be informed by the voices of those whom it affects. The AEDRTC is built on and inspired by a framework of Lived Experience & Co-Production. This core program ensures that lived experience expertise is interwoven across governance and all work streams of the Centre.
