If you, or parents you know, play video games (on any device), have children up to the age of 16 and live in Australia, please share your experiences in our survey:

Game on mum and dad – researchers call on parents to discuss their video game use

The Play and Pause team are a bunch of researchers from University of South Australia who want to learn more about the video gaming practices of parents. You may have seen me on Ten News recently being interviewed about our project, or heard my ABC radio interviews in Perth and Sydney...

If you live in Australia, play games on mobile, console or PC and have children under the age of 16 years we would love to hear from you. Click the QR code below to access the survey or go to unisa.edu.au/playandpause

The gaming experiences of parents are undervalued so please share this as widely as possible so that we scoop up as many perspectives as possible and follow our progress at: twitter.com/twtplayandpause

Thanks! Dr Fae Heaselgrave (parent gamer)

I'm looking forward to presenting some of our preliminary findings about parent gamers at the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association conference in two weeks' time.

To find out more about our project and why it's so important to ask parents about their video gaming practices check out this media release:
