Purpose
The session will be led by Prof Andrea Maier, Chair of the MACH Care of the Ageing subcommittee who will be joined by Prof Sir John Savill, MACH Executive Director.

The MACH Care of the Ageing subcommittee is comprised of a multidisciplinary group with expertise across the translation of the health research spectrum; from basic discovery to implementation into clinical practice in health services and community.

The objective of this session is to:

Provide an overview of the MACH
Introduce the Care of the Ageing theme and focus (see White Paper for background)
Generate interest in potential opportunities for ECR/MCRs in ageing and aged care fields (i.e. career development and networking)
Provide an opportunity for questions and discussion

We hope to enable valuable connections across the MACH with the aim of developing an ECR/MCR network of ageing and aged care focused researchers supported by the Care of the Ageing subcommittee.

See: machaustralia.org/ageing for details.

As such we ask those interested (including those unable to attend) to complete the short (5 min) questionnaire with details of their background and research interests to share prior to the meeting.
