The National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) has for the past four decades been bringing research to life to improve health outcomes and aged care practice as well as to guide policy to invest in solutions for positive ageing for Australia's older people.

Our vision is a world where older people are respected, healthy and included.

We are a national leader in ageing research, producing work of international significance to apply to real lives, particularly in falls and balance, pain, dementia, physical activity, healthy ageing, psychosocial and mental health, and health systems evaluation. We create and share knowledge to make a difference for older people.

The Institute is not for profit and is fully tax deductible. It mainly relies on competitive, philanthropic, contracted and tendered funding opportunities.
