Support for Families
The MATRIX Family Fund is available to support those with young family and underage children (primary school age, 12yo, and below) who would otherwise not be able to participate in a MATRIX Program.
Applications are limited to MATRIX research programs in 2025, 2026 or 2027 that include program organisers from one or more MATRIX Partners or Associate Members.
Program organisers and participants who have a need to bring family members may apply for additional support through the MATRIX Family Fund. Applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Participants from MATRIX Partners and Associate Members may be eligible for full support for domestic expenses. Partial support may be available for other participants.
The Creswick Campus has facilities on-site for nursing mothers.
A range of off-site accommodation is listed on our Accommodation page.
The attendance of spouses at MATRIX programs is not financially supported.
Application process
Applicants should submit an argued case (not more than half a page) to the MATRIX Office. Please include the research program you will be attending.
The argued case needs to make a compelling case for the need to access the Fund, the significance of participation of the applicant, and how this will enhance their research.
