Research impacts
Dr Charles-Edwards has provided expert advice to a range of government bodies on issues relating to migration and population dynamics. Highlights include the provision of advice to the Australian Commonwealth Treasury on the impact of COVID-19 on internal migration within Australia, and her appointment to the NSW COVID-19 Populations Advisory Group to help set assumptions for their 2020-21 population projections.
She is a member of the Southeast Queensland Housing Supply Expert Panel which provides advice to the Queensland Government on measuring, reporting and addressing land supply, development and housing affordability issues in South-East Queensland.

Available projects
-
Multi-locality in demography
The notion of a single place of usual residence is firmly embedded in demographic statistics. There is a growing recognition that many people inhabit a "network of places" including digital nomads, second homeowners and the "houseless". This project seeks to interrogate the concept of mulitlocality and it's implications for demography.
-
Internally displaced people in Australia
Climate change is likely to increase the frequency and severity of natural hazards in Australia, leading to the temporary and permanent displacement of individuals. This project seeks to understand the impacts of natural hazards such as bush fires and floods on migration patterns in Australia and their implications for communities and regions.
