Understanding and advocacy are key objectives for Age-Ed, which fosters collaborations with UQ’s
Age Friendly University and Dementia Friendly University initiatives, as well as the UQ Network

knowledge and information-sharing across other institutions. That sort of forum will only become
more important as caring responsibilities continue to impact a growing proportion of the nation’s
workforce.
