The Charles Sturt Ageing Well Research Group encompasses researchers from the Faculties of Science and Health (FOSH), Business, Justice and Behavioural Services (FOBJBS) and Faculty of Arts and Education (FOAE). In executing our research our vision is to shape the ageing agenda through collaboration with health providers and health service professionals, local bodies and government agencies.
Our researchers are working on a number of projects in the following three areas:
