The EARLI project is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (2022−2026) and is led by the University of New South Wales.

In this project, the researchers are investigating whether a combination of life story work (looking back over the life, using stories, photographs and other meaningful objects) and advance care planning (discussions about preferences for future care and treatment) can help older adults receiving aged care services at home.

This short video gives an overview of the EARLI project.
