Our Commitment

  • Community Connection

  • Enabling Lifelong Health

    How might we proactively enhance lifelong health and wellbeing that empowers individuals and promotes a holistic, preventative approach to health.

  • Support at Home

    How might we integrate traditional in-person support with innovative technology-based solutions to assist older people in maintaining their independence for as long as possible?

About Us

The Living Lab is a partnership between the Central Coast Local Health District, the University of Newcastle, and the people of the Central Coast.

We bring together older people, caregivers, businesses, healthcare professionals, healthcare providers and researchers to design, test, and deliver smart solutions that help us live fulfilling, connected lives in our homes as we age.

Why ageing at home matters

Growing older in our own homes can allow us to maintain choice, independence and stay connected to our communities.

Ageing at home is more than just a personal preference; it can lead to a healthier, more fulfilling life and a sustainable healthcare system.

The Central Coast Health & Wellbeing Living Lab is focused on collaborating to create solutions that make it easier for older people to age well at home.
