Explore how health, disability and care systems are evolving in response to demographic change, workforce pressures and technological innovation. Bringing together expertise across health, social sciences, engineering and policy, this research examines how care can be delivered more effectively, equitably and sustainably.
Equitable access to services is a fundamental right. ACOLA’s Good Practice Guide and Action Plan provide a framework to enhance disability responsiveness and support more inclusive service delivery.
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more advanced its applications will become increasingly complex and will find their place in homes, work places and cities.
In June 2012 the Australian Government announced Securing Australia’s Future, a $10 million investment in a series of strategic research programs delivered to the Australian Chief Scientist and the Commonwealth Science Council (previous to October 2014, the Prime Minister’s Science, Engineering and Innovation Council, PMSEIC).
Over the past year, Australia has faced significant challenges that have disrupted our social and economic wellbeing. In considering the 2020-21 Federal Budget, the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) and our members urge the Australian Government to adopt a strategic approach to supporting Australia’s research sector that maintains Australia’s strong performance in research outcomes.
While AI is likely to cause short- to medium-term disruption, it may also generate long-term growth in areas such as health, agriculture, environmental sustainability, and manufacturing.
