Interview Request: UQ Journalism Student (Work-life balance)
Hi everyone! (delete if this is not allowed)
I’m a journalism student at UQ, currently working on a long-form story exploring how rising living costs, childcare expenses and the pressure of balancing work and motherhood are affecting Australian families.
I’m hoping to speak with mums who:
• feel financial pressures are affecting decisions around having more children,
• are struggling with childcare affordability,
• or feel the pressure of balancing paid work, parenting and household responsibilities.
The project is for a university assignment only and will not be publicly published - it will only be viewed by my tutor and me.
Interviews can be informal and can take place over message, email, phone or Zoom — whatever feels most comfortable. Happy to answer any questions privately as well.
If you’d be open to chatting, please comment or message me privately. Thank you so much :)
