About the network

Developed in partnership with aged care partners and stakeholders, the National Aged Care Research Network (NACReN), brings together expert researchers, aged care providers, employees, consumer representatives, advocates and peak body representatives from within the sector.

We provide two-way engagement between researchers and people involved in the residential aged care sector, looking to the sector for input into quality improvement gaps and research priorities.

The network aims to inform the next generation of aged care research, co-designed with industry to deliver real-world solutions to address some of the greatest challenges facing our ageing communities.
