This project aimed to improve education and awareness of services and supports available to older Torres Strait Islanders living in the community. It involved the development and evaluation of a pilot Information Advocacy Hub.

‘Gaps were identified in the initial research, so we selected information and efficacy as a research focus as so many people don’t know how, where or why to get services available to them. It’s about connecting older Torres Strait Islander people with the local community and government services available in their areas.’
