- Description
- Population ageing is a key issue in Australia and the world. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Australasian Journal on Ageing, it is worth reflecting on the history of ageing research and education in Australia from the perspective of the Australian Association of Gerontology (AAG). The AAG has provided information about ageing since its formation in 1964, to help policy-makers, researchers, service providers and older adults make informed choices about ageing well. Today, with over 800 members as well as divisions established in every state and territory, the AAG represents gerontologists on a variety of government advisory panels and working groups, and brokers a broad range of news, education, evidence and opinions with an emphasis on research translation.
