Research & Development
Driving innovation, evidence and impact to improve the lives of older Australians.Explore research opportunity
At Catholic Healthcare, we believe research is the engine that drives innovation, better outcomes and lasting impact.
Research enables us to gain deeper insight into what matters most to older people and their supporters. It translates evidence into practical solutions, informing programs, policy and contemporary evidence-based practice across the sector.
Through research, we design more responsive services, turn evidence into meaningful improvements for the people we serve, and work with policymakers and the wider community, helping to create a world where every older person can truly thrive.
Three key streams of work
Innovation
Embrace new methodologies, technologies, and trends to solve current, new and emerging trends in service design and delivery.
Knowledge translation
Facilitate the translation of research findings into everyday practice, programs and policies, by turning evidence into realistic improvements to benefit older people, their supporters, the workforce and the wider community.
Policy and Systems Change
Engage policymakers, advocacy groups and the public to ensure research findings inform decision-making processes, lead to co-designing with partners and contribute to positive social systems change.
