Research Teams

There are three research teams within the Unit:

• Ageing and Health: includes a ground breaking longitudinal study that looks at how the health levels of participants in 1994 influences their physical and social activity today.
• Work and Health: one study explores interventions to assist ageing workers; another examines the impacts of traumatic workplace deaths on families.
• Participation, Safety and Ageing: developed a world-leading falls prevention program which is being rolled out across Australia and considered for use in the United States.

At a cross Unit level, we are conducting the largest triple bottom line evaluation of seniors' housing in Australia.

In summary, our research shapes government thinking, informs action and contributes to ageing being a beneficial experience.
