The Aged Care Centre for Growth and Translational Research will deliver activities across three workstreams to improve aged care for all Australians:
Knowledge and Implementation Hub
This dynamic information source will provide the whole community and the aged care workforce with trusted access to evidence that will drive transformation in providing care and services to older people.
Translational Research: The Aged Care Partnering Program
The Aged Care Partnering Program will closely facilitate translational research projects by fostering collaborations between researchers, all participants in the aged care industry, consumers, and government.
It will deliver outcomes to support increased workforce capacity and capability and enable sector-wide improvement in models of care, care quality, productivity, investment, commercialisation, and uptake of innovative technology.
Workforce Capability
Training modules and resources will support sector-wide improvement in care quality by increasing and expanding the capability of the aged care workforce to access, understand, use and embed research outcomes and technology in their work practice.
Flinders University brings together 73 stakeholders from across Australia to establish the Aged Care Centre for Growth and Translational Research. This is the beginning of a connected and collaborative national initiative, and we welcome others to join our activities and networks.
“Through the Flinders Aged Care Centre for Growth and Translational Research, we will seek to make real and meaningful change. This once-in-a-generation initiative will allow our researchers to collaborate with industry to develop stronger workforce capability and translate research into best practice.”
