What we do

The National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) makes a measurable difference to the lives of older people and those who care for them by improving their quality of life and health.

Established in 1974, , we are a national, independent medical research institute, which is highly respected across the aged care industry and research sector nationally and internationally. NARI brings together industry leaders, innovators, academic experts, and world-class educators who combine their expertise to influence and shape the agenda in ageing research and aged care.
With a strong focus on translational research, we have made significant improvements to the lives of older Australians through our research in seven key areas:

  • Falls and balance
  • Pain
  • Dementia
  • Physical activity
  • Healthy ageing
  • Psychosocial and mental health
  • Health systems evaluation.

We are the first academic centre in Australia focused on research and ageing in Australia as well as an independent non- profit medical research institute and company limited by guarantee – unique in the Australian ageing research sector.

NARI’s work has a regional, national and international focus and our research staff engage with and work in collaboration with a number of partners in Australia and across the world. Read more
