Ageing Well - December 2022

It has been an exciting few months for the NARI team as we return to face to face events, including the Australian Association of Gerontology (AAG) Conference in Adelaide, with 12 NARI presentations and a busy NARI booth. We were also delighted to welcome back our research volunteers for the volunteer Thank You Day, held at the Treacy centre on 8 December, for the first time in 3 years.

NARI has also received two significant funding grants from the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), to support continued research into improving the nation’s health and aged care systems, and an Aged Care Research & Industry Innovation Australia (ARIIA) grant with Silverchain, to support the advancement of in-home care.
