Welcome

Welcome to the Sydney Travel and Health Study.

This study is being conducted by researchers from the University of Sydney.  We are interested in how we move about our city and how that changes over time and its influence on health and wellbeing. 

What is involved?

If you agree to take part, we will ask you to participate in a short survey about you, your travel, and your health and wellbeing. 

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete.

In order for us to examine any changes over time, we would like to contact you again next year (and again in the following two years) to repeat the survey.

Before commencing the survey, please note the following:

  • Being in this study is completely voluntary and you can withdraw at any point.

  • By providing your consent, you are agreeing to us collecting personal information about you for the purposes of this research study. We will ask you to provide your contact details so we can contact you next year. All information collected will be kept strictly confidential and will be used only for statistical purposes.

 You will find more detailed information on this page.
