The UTS Ageing Research Collaborative (UARC)

25 March 2022

With ageing and aged care posing regulatory, economic, health and cultural questions for Australia, and the sector facing workforce, management and technology challenges, there has never been a more pressing need to address the obstacles to Australians ageing well. It has become clear that a tighter collaboration and collective approach is needed with health care and aged care providers, industry and the external community to ensure we can make a longstanding difference.  

It is for these reasons that UTS is accelerating its efforts to bring about real and impactful change by taking a proactive approach with key strategic partners and industry experts to harness interconnected thinking and find holistic and practical solutions to the fundamental issues highlighted by the Royal Commission around the quality of aged care, in-home care and primary care. 

The UTS Ageing Research Collaborative (UARC) is leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach to finding practical solutions and enabling reform to build a stronger, more efficient and healthy aged care system that will significantly improve the quality of ageing for all Australians.

It will play a critical role in reshaping the ageing space in Australia as it will bring together outstanding academics across multiple UTS Faculties (i.e., health economics and policy, research, palliative care, aged care facilities, technology and architecture and building), industry leaders, health and aged care providers and government to optimise each stakeholder’s key strengths and knowledge and create an action plan for the five years.

To ensure that we are keeping our community up-to-date, we shall be hosting an Ageing Research Collaborative webinar series, with the first recently hosted with the core focus of the discussion around one of the big societal challenges we currently face – how do we deliver quality aged care in Australia in a financially sustainable way? We had the pleasure of hearing from two industry leaders in this space: Cameron Holland, CEO of Ryman Healthcare and Nathan Cockerill, CEO of Lendlease Retirement Living.

UTS Ageing Research Collaborative webinar - "Australia’s ailing aged care system and how we can significantly improve the quality of ageing for all"

Tuesday 5 April 2022

A panel of health industry leaders for a discussion on how collaboration between practice and research will address one of the big societal challenges we currently face – how do we deliver quality aged care in Australia in a financially sustainable way?

Panellists:
- Nathan Cockerill Managing Director, Lendlease Retirement Living
- Cameron Holland CEO, Ryman Healthcare
- David Brown Professor of Management Accounting, UTS Business School
- Deborah Parker Professor of Nursing Aged Care (Dementia)
- Professor Carl Rhodes (Host) Dean, UTS Business School

In this webinar, a panel of business and academic leaders discuss the current state of Australia’s ailing aged care system and how we can significantly improve the quality of ageing for all.

Over the course of the Ageing Research Collaborative webinar series, we will cover other areas, such as:

  • Organisational, business and workforce models
  • Governance, accountability and ethics
  • Quality of Care and Aged Care workforce
  • Innovation and design
  • New and emerging technologies
