| 6% |
Dear Research Participant,
We invite you to participate in a research project that explores the everyday lived experience of West Australians. This study is part of my PhD research, supervised by Dr Catherine Baudains and Associate Professor John Bailey.
Nature and Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study is to find out the goals/aspirations, day-to-day experiences and general well-being of West Australians. As part of my research, I wish to survey as many people as possible from all walks of life about their daily lives.
What does your participation involve?
If you wish to participate, this will involve the completion of a brief survey that will get you to reflect on various areas of your life. Completion of the entire survey will take approximately 20 - 30 minutes of your time.
At the end of the survey, you will be invited to participate in an optional interview that will be arranged at a later date. This interview will take approximately 45 minutes - 1 hour and will occur at a time and place that is convenient for you.
Voluntary Participation and Withdrawal from Study
It is important that you understand that your involvement in this study is voluntary. While we would be very pleased to have you participate, we respect your right to decline. You can decide at any time to withdraw your consent to participate in this research. As the information gathered from the surveys is anonymous, it cannot be removed if you decide to withdraw. However, if you agree to be interviewed and later decide to withdraw, information collected from the interview can be removed.
Your Privacy
All information collected in this study will be treated in a confidential manner, and your name or address will not be used in any form of publication arising out of the research.
If you are willing to participate in this study, I would kindly ask that you click the 'next' button to start the survey.

We would like to thank you in advance for your assistance with this research project.
