Ageing and Human Development Faculty Research Group

Research on Ageing and Human Development encompasses a wide range of activities including examination of the fundamental mechanisms of disorders, analysis of social and behavioural programs and interventions, and research on economics and public policy affecting people of all ages. Programs of research address national research priorities using innovative, multidisciplinary approaches to understand individuals across their lifespan, their families and carers, the physical and social environments in which they live, and the networks of social and human services that support them.
