The relationship between rural living and wellness: What services and supports do older people need? (ARC Linkage Project administered by La Trobe University) (2013-2016)
Abstract
Although the Australian population is ageing faster in rural areas than elsewhere, little is known of the systems that best support their health and well-being. By recognising the diversity of older people and rural places, this research will provide essential evidence to address our government partners¿ challenge of delivering sustainable and appropriate services across rural Australia. The research will also result in international comparative data and outcomes through our collaboration with the University of Alberta, Canada; and provide excellent research training and experience for three early career researchers.
