Researchers at Griffith University are looking for volunteers who can participate in their study to explore how COVID-19 related social service closures affect the lives of older people, people with dementia and informal carers in Australia.
The Melbourne Ageing Research Collaboration, led by the National Ageing Research Institute, is conducting a research project on grief and its effects on quality of life and healthcare use in older people.
The Queensland Government has established a Taskforce comprised of Government, the Community Sector and eminent Queenslanders to oversee support for Queensland seniors during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The Strategy's vision is 'older people in the Brisbane south region experience a greater quality of life through safe connected and coordinated person-centred care in an age-friendly community.
When we focus on the group of older Australians who are not doing so well at the moment, we see numerous challenges related to finances, health, age discrimination and a general lack of trust in Government and the future.
