Aged Mental Health Research Unit

The Aged Mental Health Research Unit's research focuses on care and improvement of the mental health of the ageing, including those with dementia, behaviour disorders, or in aged care, as well as those who care for them. The unit is a partner of the Commonwealth Government's Dementia Collaborative Research Centre with responsibility for identifying non-pharmacological treatments of the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia and then mounting trials of their efficacy.
