Project details
This research will examine the risk management strategies of First Nations businesses during the Covid-19 period. Businesses owned and operated by Indigenous people are one way for them to overcome the disempowering effects of the welfare economy (Banerjee et al. 2018).However, the Covid‐19 crisis has had devastating impacts on Indigenous communities and their businesses.
To support the businesses and the community, the Federal Government took various support measures. However, it is challenging to identify the needs of Indigenous businesspeople due to their cultural differences.
This research will examine the potential for business research to contribute positively to reducing the gap in knowledge between indigenous risk management strategies and contemporary business risk management strategies.

Project details
Australia’s regulation on eScooter use is patchy, non-uniform, unidirectional and reactive. This project looks at the benefit and costs of the rapidly expanding trend and the regulatory framework that is missing for stakeholders.
This project will have policy impacts, by providing decision-makers with the sociological and legal data they need when filling regulatory gaps. It will also explore the burdens and benefits of more robust eScooter regulation.
CDU research is strongly aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and makes a real, positive difference in people’s lives. This project contributes to the implementation of SG3 (Good Health and Wellbeing) and SG11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
