Dr Clemence Due, Associate Professor, School of PsychologyMy research areas are diverse, but linked by a focus on the health and wellbeing of individuals and families who are considered to be marginalised or vulnerable. I am particularly interested in psychological wellbeing, trauma, maternity care, and bereavement care following pregnancy or neonatal loss. My research is typically cross-cultural and applied and I work closely with communities to ensure translational outcomes.Much of my work concerns people with asylum seeking, refugee or migrant backgrounds and I work closely with refugee and migrant communities to ensure that my research is relevant and will lead to positive outcomes for community groups. I also have interest and expertise in developmental psychology, especially child and adolescent development and neuro-diversity.In 2016 I was awarded the University of Adelaide's Vice Chancellor's Award for Women's Excellence in Research as an Early Career Researcher and in 2019 I was awarded a Barbara Kidman Fellowship on the basis of my research concerning refugee mental health.
My research areas are diverse, but linked by research concerning the health and wellbeing of individuals and families who are considered to be marginalised or vulnerable.
My current key projects include:
- An MRFF project (~$800,000) exploring the social determinants of mental health for young people with refugee backgrounds
- An MRFF project (~$700,000) exploring care for LGBTQIA+ people in the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network
- An ARC Discovery Project on vicarious trauma for foster carers
- AN ARC Linkage Project on wellbeing and technology-related changes in relation to the performing arts
Overall, my recent research in relation to pregnancy and neonatal loss has focused on under-researched groups of people including men, grandparents and people with refugee backgrounds. This research is centred around bereavement care, including working to ensure that there are evidence-based guidelines for support following pregnancy and neonatal loss for these groups of people.
I am also currently working on projects concerning best practice maternity/postnatal care for women and men with refugee backgrounds. Both women and men with refugee backgrounds face a range of risk factors and worse outcomes than the general population, and it is important that their care is culturally appropriate and targeted to their needs.
My other main research focus has been on a broad exploration of resettlement factors that have an effect on the health and wellbeing of people with asylum seeker or refugee backgrounds, including access to mental health care, housing, education, employment and social inclusion, as well as mental health care for children with refugee backgrounds who have experienced, or are experiencing, psychological trauma.
Finally, I have expertise in relation to wellbeing and the performing arts.

My research areas are diverse, but linked by research concerning the health and wellbeing of individuals and families who are considered to be marginalised or disadvantaged.
As of Dec 2023, I had > $8M AUD in grant funding across projects involving mental health and wellbeing for refugee families, pregnancy loss and neonatal death, and 'alternative' low-cost therapies involving music, art and nature.
My current key projects include:
