Aged Care Research and Industry Innovation (ARIIA)
Rebecca Bilton
Passionate about the delivery of high-quality research and the translation of research into practical and meaningful community and industry outcomes, Rebecca specialises in research management, collaborative research partnerships and the successful delivery of large state and national projects. Since 2008, I have had pivotal involvement in the strategic planning, implementation and translation of innovative national health workforce programs, health service research and trials. For the past 9 years, I have worked in aged care research translation, undertaking research to improve health service delivery, clinical care and wellbeing outcomes for vulnerable elderly Australians.
At ARIIA, I manage the team that delivers national capability development and knowledge building to increase aged workforce capacity and capability to innovate, implement best-practice and manage change
