This ARC funded project is led by Dr Tom Barratt, an early career researcher who is using labour geography and industrial relations to better understand gig work in Australia. Its starting point is the lives and choices of the people who decide to perform gig work, and why, where and how they do this work.
The project is no longer actively recruiting participants, however if you are interested in staying up to date with the project via occasional updates relevant to the project and gig work more broadly, please consider joining the email list.
I again want to thank those who have participated in the project. If you have any queries about working in the gig economy in Australia, see the FairWork Ombudsman page; if you’re unsure about your classification or rights as a gig worker.
The project is currently completing periodic follow up interviews with participants, academic publications and public reports will follow data analysis.
Ms Kumara Bandage’s PhD project looking at international students doing gig work is still recruiting, please email tom.barratt@uwa.edu.au if you are interested in participating in her project.
