NARI’s 2024 Conversation on Ageing focused on neurodiversity and ageing. The discussion highlighted the urgent need to improve awareness, diagnosis and support for older people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
A new evidence-based framework has been developed to help guide in-home aged care providers as they plan and deliver technology-supported services
NARI welcomes the new Senior Victorians Advisory Committee which will help to ensure older people are listened to. It will provide more opportunities for older people to give advice directly to Government on their priorities, the challenges they face, and emerging issues.
Ahead of next month’s State Budget, the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) is calling on the Victorian Government to back new research and workforce training to keep Victorians healthier and living at home for longer.
NARI is delighted to announce Professor Tracy Comans as its new Director. A UQ Amplify Fellow at the Centre for Health Services Research, University of Queensland, and an Adjunct Research Fellow at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Professor Comans is known for her innovative application of economics in health services, and for developing the prototype for the aged care star ratings system.
