Get the methodology right from the outset — sample size calculation, statistical methodology planning, data organisation, and questionnaire design and validation. For Honours, HDR, and clinical researchers across Australia.
Good research starts before any data is collected. We help you plan a study that can actually answer its own questions — so time and effort spent collecting data is never wasted.
We work out the right sampling strategy for your study: how to select participants, how many you need, and how to approach data collection in a way that satisfies your research requirements, ethics committee, and supervisor.
We help you define the statistical approach for your study in a clear, technically sound way — covering the rationale for your methods, the analytical plan, and how to document it for ethics or proposal purposes.
We advise on how to structure and organise your data from the outset, reducing errors and making the analysis process significantly smoother when the time comes.
We help design well-structured questionnaires and carry out statistical validation of scales and measurement instruments — including Cronbach's alpha, factor analysis, and convergent and discriminant validity.
We discuss your research aims, design, timeline, and target population in detail.
We advise on the statistical approach, sampling strategy, and sample size — so you have a clear, well-founded methodology before data collection begins.
We advise on how to document your statistical approach for ethics applications, research proposals, and study protocols — clearly and in a way that will withstand scrutiny.
We remain available for follow-up questions as you move into data collection — with no time limit and no extra charge.
Research design decisions made before data collection determine whether your study can answer its own questions. An underpowered sample, a poorly validated questionnaire, or an inappropriate sampling strategy cannot be fixed after the data is collected — they must be planned correctly from the start.
Whether you are preparing an ethics submission, writing a research proposal, or about to begin participant recruitment, this is the right point to seek statistical input.
The earlier in the research process you engage with a statistician, the more we can help.
Sample size calculation, methodology guidance, and questionnaire design for undergraduate Honours projects — before data collection begins.
Full methodology planning including study design, sampling strategy, power analysis, and statistical approach documentation for ethics and proposal submissions.
Research design support for grant applications (ARC, NHMRC) and manuscript-linked studies — meeting the methodological rigour expected by funding bodies and peer-reviewed journals.
Statistically sound design for clinical studies, RCTs, observational studies, and service audits — including sample size justification for ethics committee submissions.
We specialise in health and applied sciences, with deep experience across a wide range of research disciplines:
