World leader in aged care and senior living
Queensland is a world leader in providing quality aged-care and senior-living services and products – both at home in Australia and, more recently, overseas.
Queensland is also home to health and research institutions that are at the cutting edge of services and research related to older people.
The state has Australia’s first large-scale digital hospital, the Princess Alexandra Hospital, and the first high-rise building in Australia to combine traditional apartment accommodation with government-approved independent-living units for seniors, Victoria Towers on the Gold Coast.
Queensland companies have won numerous awards for the design and construction of aged-care facilities, with specific expertise in facility planning, design services, project management, and construction services and commissioning.
Key research into age-related conditions
High-profile Queensland research institutions are at the forefront of international research into age-related conditions and their treatment.
These include the Dementia Centre for Research Collaboration at Queensland University of Technology, and the Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research, housed within the Queensland Brain Institute at The University of Queensland.
Innovators in smart technology
Queensland companies are also at the forefront of developing and using innovative technology to improve seniors’ quality of life, for example through telehealth and comprehensive in-home monitoring initiatives); in the training of aged-care nursing and other staff; and in active ageing and healthy nutrition programs.
Partnerships in the Asia–Pacific
Queensland companies are increasingly working with partners in the Asia-Pacific to provide senior-living solutions to ageing populations in the region.
