The Q Research Group was formed in 2016 when is small number of Melbourne based academics interested in Q methodology got together to share ideas and expertise. Zoom was added to the initial face-to-face monthly meetings and the group now includes members from various Australian universities as well as overseas colleagues. The aim of the group is to support and promote researchers using Q methodology. 

The monthly meetings provide members with a setting where they can present current projects, discuss or workshop topics of interest and trial materials. The meetings also afford opportunities to collaborate on joint publications and discuss Q related issues in a safe and supportive environment.

The group has organised the 1st Q Symposium Down Under in 2023, and aims to make it a biennial event.

The Q Research Group welcome members from all over the world and from any academic field. You will find group members keen to support you if you are at your first Q project, and interested to listen to your ideas if you are more expert.

The group meet once a month, participation is available online (Zoom) and also face-to-face, and meetings are hosted at the Faculty of Education of the University of Melbourne.
