AAG Tasmania Division Committee

About

The Tasmania Division of the AAG provides local events for members. We provide opportunities to hear from international, national, and local speakers about innovations and research in the field of ageing. Our events also provide networking opportunities for our diverse membership, which includes aged care workers, allied health professionals, nurses and medical professionals. Basically, anyone interested in improving the experience of ageing. We provide links to the national body and scholarships to help members attend the annual national conference. We are a group of friendly people who endeavour to provide connections locally and nationally for people interested in gerontology.

Bursaries to attend the 2024 AAG Conference


AAG Tasmania will provide three scholarships of $350 for three AAG student members who are not receiving other funding to attend the AAG Conference whose abstracts have been accepted by the Conference Scientific Committee.

Applications for 2024 are open from 1st July to 30th August 2024 and are to be used to directly support the student to attend the National Conference either as travel expenses or to support the cost of Conference fees.

The AAG Tas Division Committee will assess the applications for the award. Any Committee Member who has applied for the bursary will be recused from the selection process.

Applications will be assessed and award recipients will be formally notified by the 7th September.

Eligibility criteria:

• Applicants must be attending the full AAG Conference program in the year of application for the Award and presenting their research findings via an oral, poster, ‘ThinkTank’, or art presentation.
• Applicants do not have to have had their abstracts accepted at the time of submitting their application for the Award but must show proof of acceptance as soon as received.

Successful applicants are expected to:
• Acknowledge the support of the Tasmanian Division of the AAG during their presentation at the conference.
• Arrange their own travel, accommodation, and Conference fee then seek reimbursement from the Tasmanian AAG Division Treasurer with evidence of costs (i.e. receipts, bank statement).
• Write a 1-page report on their experience at the AAG Conference. This may be used/promoted online. For example, quoted on the Tasmanian AAG webpage or posted as an entry on the AAG SECG blog.
