IRT Research Foundation (AU, 52000726536) Browse events
YTD Raised: $0.00Our population of older people is on the rise, and we are living longer than ever before. Our health and wellbeing is the key to ageing well and keeping us active within our communities. We might have friends, relatives or be caring for people who are starting to feel the effects of mature age. Chronic pain, dementia, stroke, falls and mental health can have a major impact on quality of life. The IRT Research Foundation supports research that can positively influence the ageing experience. The findings from the research we have funded can be shared with the community, other researchers, policy makers, carers, health professionals and service providers to make an impact. Research has the ability to throw light on important issues like disability, poverty, social exclusion, nutrition, mental health and risk factors in dementia. Research is essential to help policy makers and organisations representing older people to plan better and more efficient services. Research helps older people to lead full and meaningful lives and participate in their communities, living independently with dignity and the ability to make their own decisions. When you donate to the IRT Research Foundation you are supporting positive ageing – for the people you care for, your friends, family and future generations.
