Research and Innovation

The Institute has a number of research and development activities which focus on services and products that support clients remaining in their home and achieving health goals. The Institute plays a key role in building on this platform of activity.

We focus on developing collaborative relationships with researchers and tertiary institutions to ensure that research and development processes are robust and positive outcomes are maximised for the community and clients. We aim to develop collegial relationships with other providers of community/home-based health care, to partner in service development and research activities.
