Funded Activity Summary

The ageing population is expected to greatly accelerate the community burden of care for those with dementia and other age related illnesses. Recent data showed that there were 2.6 million carers in Australia, including 520 000 who are aged over 60 years old. Carer burden is a huge social and economic problem. This study will investigate the personal factors which make carers at higher risk of preventable poor physical and mental health, as well as how these factors may impact on intervention outcomes.
