We undertake strategic research into the key themes of rural health workforce, clinical education, health services, mental health and aboriginal health.
We partner with other universities, governments and communities to address local, national and international rural health challenges.
Through our highly successful academic programs, rural students also contribute to our research outcomes through community engagement activities and projects.
This national dementia research project that seeks to identify key drivers of a personalised care, and use co-design principles to implement and evaluate a personalised model of care incorporating music/art and movement interventions for residents with dementia in five rural aged care homes in South Australia and Far North Queensland.
The project is funded by a two-year $1.5 million 'innovation in dementia care' grant from the Australian government.
