Team DataSets

Government concessions and rebates for seniors

Data Set

Volunteer resource centres contact data

Description of Use Using this data we are able to pair up new volunteers or existing volunteers in organisations with aged persons.

Data Set

Bureau of Meteorology District forecasts

Indicators of wellbeing by year (Future Melbourne)

Description of Use The solution we are looking into directly impacts the wellbeing of elderly residents, and that of their carers.

Data Set

AIHW Aged Care

Description of Use Information on technology adoption amongst the elderly is available, which will give us an idea of how feasible the solution is.
