Real research. Real clinical impact.

Interested in a Higher Degree Research (HDR) project that actually changes clinical practice?
At AVATAR (Alliance for Vascular Access Teaching and Research), you can work on real-world problems in vascular access and infusion therapy, guided by experienced supervisors across universities and specialties.

Why HDR with AVATAR?

Every year, millions of IV devices are inserted worldwide — and 25-36% fail after insertion. These failures cause pain, delays, infections, and huge costs to health services.

By joining AVATAR as an HDR student, you can help fix this.

You will:

• Tackle high-impact clinical questions in vascular access and infusion therapy

• Work with a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, researchers, and industry partners

• Build strong skills in study design, data analysis, implementation, and evaluation

• Contribute to research that directly informs guidelines, education, and product design
