Consumer Engagement Group
About our Engagement Group
Research is critical to Australian aged care, but one of the most challenging aspects of conducting research is finding the right participants. Our Consumer Engagement Group aims to address this issue by connecting researchers with individuals who know about the residential aged care sector.
How does it work?
Help us make a difference in the lives of older people and those who care for them by joining our consumer engagement group to participate in ongoing and upcoming research.
You will receive email invitations containing information about studies and opportunities to contribute by participating directly in surveys, interviews, or other activities.
