Age-Ed Seminar Series

About the Series

Age-Ed is a new support network for those who care for older persons at UQ, which is run by UQ Law academics with lived experience of informal aged care or research expertise on ageing. The network fosters evidence-based education, peer support, and interdisciplinary research opportunities on aged care within the UQ community. Through seminars, Carers’ Cafés, and collaboration with UQ’s Age Friendly University and Dementia Friendly University initiatives, Age-Ed aims to help carers manage the legal, practical, and emotional impacts of care, in line with the UQ values of respect and inclusivity. Age-Ed also works closely with the UQ Network for Carers of Children with Special Needs and Serious Chronic Illnesses.
