Better ageing outcomes through collective wisdom
Focusing on the issues that matter most to older Australians, from health and wellbeing to quality care at home or in aged care facilities, meaningful social connections, dementia support, and compassionate end-of-life care.
Our evidence informs how health, aged, social, and palliative care can be delivered at the right time, to the right individuals, under the best possible policies.
Our approach
Our approach is grounded in evidence and impact, and is driven by three core pillars: research, advocacy, and capacity building. By combining data analysis, consumer engagement, and real-world trials, we are working collaboratively with government agencies, external providers, and organisations dedicated to supporting older people to discover what truly works to improve lives and shape better services.
Why mental health conversations matter: Supporting older adults
For older adults receiving care in the community, mental health and wellbeing needs can often go unmet, as aged care staff focus on meeting customers’ physical and practical needs, often working within tight time constraints.
Better transitions, better care for older Australians
Researchers are improving hospital-to-aged care transitions to reduce avoidable hospitalisations and better support older Australians.
Making palliative care evidence easy to access and use
How can we know what makes a difference to care at the end of life? The CareSearch team at the Flinders Research Centre for Palliative Care, Death and Dying (RePaDD) has developed tools to make palliative care evidence accessible and usable across health and aged care.
