Dimensions of Life Pilot Retirement Survey - Information Sheet

This is a brief pilot survey of important dimensions of life to consider in advance of retirement, including issues around health, money, well-being, relations with other people, and keeping mentally engaged. Research has shown that these dimensions affect quality of life and well-being prior to, during and post-retirement. In this research we are interested in hearing from Uni super members about how these dimensions of life are ranked in importance and in current and future contexts for individuals, as these dimensions of life are expereinced differently across individuals and their unique contexts. 

Dementia Care - Research based strategies for caregivers

A multidisciplinary team from the University of Queensland developed a set of research-based strategies for caregivers. The team involved clinicians, researchers and educators in neuropsychology, psychogeriatrics, nursing, speech pathology, and communication, and sought input from experienced professional and informal caregivers. Based on the available research evidence, two sets of practical strategies were developed: MESSAGE: Communication Strategies in Dementia and RECAPS: Memory Strategies in Dementia.
