Australian Time Users Group

Welcome to the Australian Time Users Group Research Network.

The Australian Time Users Research group was formed in 2008 to encourage and support the use of time research in Australia. Our members investigate diverse areas such as work-life-family balance, shopping and social time use, transport and travel time, and children's time use.

The group members comprise of various state and federal departments and institutes and members from the higher education field in Australia and overseas. New members are most welcome and you can join our group by filling in our membership form.

Our aim as a group is to:

• raise the profile of time use research in Australia
• explore policy directions for future research so that the research will attract more funding and commercial support
• develop guidelines for time use research methodologies and;
• encourage greater use of time use surveys by government and academic bodies

The Australian Time Users Group was affiliated with the International Association of Time Use Research (IATUR) at the 2008 IATUR conference in Sydney, Australia.
