Ageing and Palliative Care

Ageing and Palliative Care research at CHERE aims to contribute evidence-based economic research and inform policy development in the increasingly important topic of ageing in Australia. We utilize a range of economic analytical tools to evaluate the healthcare and social needs of the aged and those who could benefit from palliative care (including end of life care). Using administrative and operational data sets and data linkages, our analyses inform changes to the financial, organisational and workforce arrangements that aim to improve the delivery of aged and palliative care services. We have a strong policy focus and a proven track record of engagement with governments, consumer groups, providers and financers of these services as well as disseminating our results in academic journals and the broader media.
