Ageing, Work and Health Research

More and more Australians are living and working longer. This presents both a challenge and opportunity to individuals, the wider community and government. The Ageing, Work and Health Research Unit looks at finding ways of improving the ageing experience and enhancing the health of workers at all levels.
           
The Unit brings together a talented, multidisciplinary team in a collaborative approach. Their research interests range from investigating issues facing workers from youth to retirement through to reducing falls in the elderly. A particular area of interest is the impact baby boomers will make as they reach later life.
