Current Research Program

The Centre for Population Ageing Research (CEPAR) provides Australia, the greater Pacific region, and the world, with crucial new knowledge to inform social and economic responses to one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. 

CEPAR's latest research and two-way engagement program will inform new and more coherent whole-of-government approaches to sustainable social policy development, and to support complementary private provision of post-retirement support. These will help guide policy line departments, financial services providers, regulators and individuals in their life course decision-making and risk management.

CEPAR’s mission is to produce research of the highest quality and collaborate with government and industry partners to translate findings to enhance social and economic outcomes for an ageing world.

CEPAR’s vision is to be recognised as an independent research authority that provides a multidisciplinary evidence base to effectively respond to the economic and social challenges of population ageing and to transform the framework within which they are cast.
