The Ageing and Alzheimer's Research Foundation conducts research into the epidemiology of ageing and the clinical presentation, and genetic and neuropathological aspects of brain disorders. The role of the Ageing and Alzheimer's Research Foundation is to support research into healthy ageing and the diseases of old age. AARF also supports an extensive community educational program that covers a wide variety of activities with groups of older people, carer support groups, and community, health and residential aged care workers.
