Harnessing our expertise and meaningful work to date, Aged Care Research and Industry Innovation Australia (ARIIA) is expanding our activities in best-practice design, implementation support, and evaluation, to further aid the aged care sector.
Current projects
In the past 6 months we have been proud to announce that ARIIA have partnered with three successful MRFF projects that focus on:
- Improving the multi-disciplinary care support in primary care – where ARIIA supports investigation of the intersection with primary care and aged care
- Identifying and improving the MBS-funded health service utilisation by residents in residential care
- Improving support for CALD community members caring for a loved one with Dementia.
ARIIA also recently became a registered charity and received philanthropic support from Equity Trust to undertake workforce capability building activities for the First Nations care workforce.
In our capacity as consultants for both large and small providers, the ARIIA team undertakes a wide range of activities to assist teams to design, implement and evaluate evidence-based solutions that are fit for purpose, and are sustainable.
ARIIA Programs and Research Director, Dr Rebecca Bilton says ARIIA is committed to supporting the aged care sector through meaningful engagements and driving improvement through best-practice design, implementation support, technology adaption, and quality evaluation.
“ARIIA is looking for opportunities to partner on projects and grants that will bring evidence and practice together, and best support the aged care sector to deliver the best care.”
