Across the lifespan

The world is experiencing unprecedented demographic changes. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, one in five Australians will be aged 65 or older by the middle of the 21^st century. Population ageing presents social and economic challenges and opportunities. It is now more important than ever to understand the biological, social, and psychological factors that contribute to wellbeing in later life.

Flinders University's research contributes to mental health and wellbeing across the lifespan through research that targets engagement with life, cognitive health and dementia, and the provision of high-quality aged care services.
