Funded Activity Summary
Ageing and new media: A new analysis of older Australians' support networks. The aim of the project is to highlight the current and potential role new media can play in fostering the local, distant and virtual support networks of older Australians to radically update aged-care policy and service delivery. It plans to examine how older people’s support networks are increasingly dispersed due to the greater mobility of their family, friends and care services. The project plans to compare long-term settled, parent, and retirement migrants in both urban and regional locations, at home and in institutional care, across six groups: Australian, British, Italian, Chinese, Indian and Vietnamese. The project expects to deliver evidence-based recommendations to facilitate the use of new media to deliver innovation in aged care.Funded Activity Details
