Housing and older people

Overview

https://research.qut.edu.au/achlr/https://research.qut.edu.au/achlr/

Associate Professor Tina Cockburn is interested in supervising students who wish to undertake research about housing and older people (including assets for care arrangements, retirement villages and aged care facilities). Safe housing is a human right not enjoyed by all, particularly for older women who may have experienced financial insecurity throughout the life course. This is a significant issue facing modern Australian society, particularly in light of an anticipated economic downturn and increasing unemployment. Please contact the supervisor if you are interesting in undertaking a PhD in this area. This topic is led by the QUT School of Law within the Planning for Healthy Ageing research group.
