Do you write my thesis or scientific work for me?
+
Absolutely not. We are biostatistical consultants — not ghostwriters. The intellectual content, scientific reasoning, and writing of your thesis are entirely your own. What we provide is expert guidance on statistical methodology and analysis. Your supervisor must be aware that you are using the service.
Do I need to acknowledge your involvement in my thesis?
+
Yes — and we require it as a condition of working with us. Any consulting we provide must be acknowledged in your thesis, dissertation, or research project, typically in the Acknowledgements section. We will guide you on appropriate acknowledgement wording when the time comes.
Do you support postdocs and clinical researchers, not just students?
+
Yes. We work with postdoctoral researchers, early-career academics, and clinical researchers at all career stages across Australia. Whether you are preparing a manuscript for a peer-reviewed journal, developing the statistical sections of an ARC or NHMRC grant application, or analysing data from a clinical project, we provide the same collaborative, rigorous service.
How does the consulting process work?
+
We start with an initial meeting to understand your research aims and data. We then work through the analyses together, prepare a detailed technical report, and walk you through the findings in a dedicated session — so you leave with a solid grasp of the methodology and results. Ongoing support by email about the delivered material is included at no extra cost.
It depends on the complexity of your analyses and how well-organised your data is. Get in touch with the details of your project and we will give you a realistic timeframe along with a quote.
Which disciplines do you work with?
+
We specialise in health and applied sciences: Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Public Health, Epidemiology, Psychology, Pharmacy, Nutrition and Dietetics, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Midwifery, Biomedical Science, and more. If your discipline is not listed, get in touch — we most likely cover it.
How much does biostatistical consulting cost in Australia?
+
Pricing is tailored to each project based on the type of analysis, volume of data, and level of support required. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after an initial discussion — there are no hidden fees, and the quote you receive covers the full scope agreed upon.
Can I use this service even if my university has its own statistical consulting centre?
+
Yes. LM Statistics is a private, independent consulting service — there are no affiliation requirements. You can engage us regardless of which Australian university you attend or which institution you are affiliated with. Many researchers use external consulting precisely because university centres have waiting lists, restricted access policies, or limited availability.
I am an international student studying in Australia. Can I use this service?
+
Yes. We work with all researchers studying or working at Australian institutions, regardless of nationality or visa status. The service is 100% online, so your location within Australia is also not a constraint.
