Centre of Research Excellence in Frailty and Healthy Ageing
Between 2016 and November 2022, we collaborated with academic groups across Australia and internationally to build the evidence base for frailty in Australia and contribute towards the global Healthy Ageing agenda. This project was funded by the National Health Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence scheme. There was also funding support from the University of Adelaide, the Hospital Research Foundation and Resthaven Inc.
