An innovative project led by Charles Sturt’s Ageing Well in Rural and Regional Australia Research Group has secured a $600,000 grant from the Ian Potter Foundation to help improve the mental health of people transitioning to residential aged care.
In total (with co-contributions), the project is worth $1.67 million.
Research partners are the National Ageing Research Institute, Federation University, Uniting Age Well, and St Agnes Parish.
The grant will fund the ‘Improving the Mental Health of Older Australians Navigating the Transition to Residential Aged Care’ (ON-TRAC) Project over five years.
