Local aged care joins RMIT project

Regis Aged Care in Cranbourne will participate in a research project aimed to improve the wellbeing of residents through enhanced air quality monitoring.

Regis Aged Care has joined forces with RMIT University in the project to improve quality of life and resilience of older Australians, and assisting in climate change adaptation.

This RMIT research project is in collaboration with industry partner, Eco Pacific and funded by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and is one of the successful projects announced by the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change.

Each participating facility will receive equipment installed at their site, free-of-charge, that facilitates fresh filtered air to enhance indoor air quality and ultimately the health and wellbeing of residents.
