Industry Engagement
We work with industry, government and community organisations to better understand and respond to the digital experiences of older adults.
Our research and engagement expertise can help organisations design more inclusive services, strengthen engagement and turn evidence into practical action.
How we can help
-
Better understand the digital experiences, needs and barriers affecting older adults
-
Develop strategies to improve engagement and connection
-
Build capability through tailored training and expert guidance
-
Analyse research or organisational data to inform engagement strategies
-
Improve communication and service experiences for older adults
-
Partner with our researchers on applied research and collaborative projects
Older people are keen to learn technology. They are very diverse in the way they deal with technology, and we need to understand the complexity of their situation and the various ways they engage with technology.
