Ageing in WA- Thriving physically, mentally and culturally

Join us on Wednesday, 29 October 2025, from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm for the Ageing in WA- Thriving Physically, Mentally and Culturally networking event.

Networking is vital for researchers; it builds knowledge, collaboration and professional growth. As Australia’s population ages, healthy ageing is an increasingly important area of research. Join us for an inspiring evening with early career researchers exploring key topics in falls prevention, consumer and caregiver involvement and healthy ageing. This event offers the perfect opportunity to connect, learn and spark new ideas.
