Anyone aged 18 years and over and residing in Australia can register.
Volunteers are needed
- from all ethnic backgrounds and cultures (being able to speak English is not a requirement: some studies may be able to engage interpreters);
- whether or not they are living with dementia; and
- whether or not they are concerned about their memory.
We encourage all adults, older people, carers, families and friends of older people to register on StepUp for Ageing Research because researchers need all kinds of people to participate in studies. Volunteers are needed for ageing related studies looking at things like aged care, health and wellbeing of older people, frailty, support, services, policy as well as issues concerning ageing and healthy societies broadly. Anybody can help advance vital ageing related research through participation in studies.
Note: Some research studies are funded to support participation by providing a small token of appreciation or covering some of the costs of being involved, such as travel, but this varies depending on the study.
