By age 85, one in three Australians will have dementia

Australians are living longer than before. But while our bodies might be staying healthy, our brains are not.

The Enhanced Advance care planning and life Review Longitudinal Intervention (EARLI) Project

The EARLI project is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (2022-2026) and is led by the University of New South Wales. In this project, the researchers are investigating whether a combination of life story work (looking back over the life, using stories, photographs and other meaningful objects) and advance care planning (discussions about preferences for future care and treatment) can help older adults receiving aged care services at home.   The EARLI project will be partnering with a number of aged care organisations in Sydney and Perth, to recruit participants who are receiving aged care services at home.   The project team are currently running a nation-wide pilot survey, which is open to anyone who is 65 years or older, living independently in the community, and able to communicate in English, Chinese or Italian. If you would like to complete the survey, please follow this link https://redcap.link/earli-pilot-survey, or contact the research team if you require further assistance.   If you would like to contact the study team, please email earli-project@neura.edu.au or call (02) 9399 1095
