ILC-Aus is the international arm of AAG. AAG is the lead and host organisation, with administrative responsibilities for ILC-Aus. The international focus of ILC-Aus, through AAG, brings new ideas into Australia and shares innovation from the region with a global audience.
The purpose of ILC-Aus is to engage Australian researchers in global ageing, by:
- Providing advice based on our experience in Australia to the international community
- Working together to secure funding for national and international research and policy analysis, through national and international grant schemes and with AAG partnership
- Assisting Australian researchers and service providers both to promote their work to an international audience and to interpret evidence from overseas to our local contexts
- Building capacity in Australian researchers and policy-makers by increasing engagement between Australia and the rest of the world and fostering an environment that supports international collaboration
- Providing a platform to connect AAG membership with international organisations with and through the ILC Global Alliance (including the International Federation on Ageing, the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, the World Health Organization and other UN entities).
