Age-Ed Herston Launch — The Heart and Science of Informal Aged Care
Join us for the Herston Age-Ed Launch — a conversation on care, community, and connection.
This lunchtime event brings together academic and professional staff to explore the realities of informal aged care. Featuring a panel discussion with pioneering geriatrician, Dr Glenda Powell AM, and medico-legal ethicist, Associate Professor Bernadette Richards (UQ Medical School), and moderated by Dr Ruthie Jeanneret, the session will offer personal insights, practical strategies, and space for audience questions.
Whether you're currently supporting an older person, expect to take on a caring role in the future, or are researching aged care and caregiving, this event offers valuable perspectives and opportunities for connection. Lunch will be provided following the panel.
Age-Ed is a UQ Law-led initiative supporting carers of older persons through research, peer support, and information-sharing.

About 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.
