Judy Harris Writer-in-Residence

A fist emerges from a book.

We are delighted to announce that Expressions of Interest (EOIs) are now open for the Judy Harris Writer-in-Residence Fellowship at the Charles Perkins Centre 2025.

The Judy Harris Writer-in-Residence Fellowship was established in 2016 to foster collaboration with Australian creative writers in exploring issues around health. The program encourages using the power of creativity in the exploration and understanding of the systemic causes of chronic disease and the translation of complex ideas of what it is to be human, particularly when facing the unease caused by disease.

The Fellowship supports an established Australian creative writer to develop a new piece of work while in residence at the Charles Perkins Centre

The Fellowship is for one year (2025–26) and includes:
– a stipend of $100,000
– a University of Sydney Honorary appointment
– a base at the Charles Perkins Centre
– full access to the University of Sydney Library
– the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse range of researchers, educators and clinicians at the Charles Perkins Centre.

EOIs close 19 May 2025.
