Surveys form an often critical part of a research project, and research underpins the high-quality care medical radiation practitioners (MRPs) deliver daily. ASMIRT is committed to supporting and strengthening the conduct of research amongst all MRPs.
Your responses to research survey are valuable to those not just at ASMIRT, but across the medical radiation sciences.
The following surveys and research project invitations are open:

Ahpra has engaged EY Sweeney to conduct research on the motivators and barriers to becoming a health regulation board member, in our case the MRPBA.
You don’t need to be a current or former member of the MRPBA or even interested in becoming a member of the Board – Ahpra is interested in hearing a wide range of perspectives. Participation involves either a one-on-one interview (30–45 minutes) or a small focus group (90 minutes), both conducted via Microsoft Teams. Sessions will take place between now and 17 July 2025. All participants will receive a $150 thank-you payment.
If you are interested, please contact Carmel.Meiklejohn@au.ey.com or Emily.McCrann@au.ey.com with your best contact number and a suitable time to call. They will confirm a few details and arrange the timing of your participation.
