Welcome to WACHA

Welcome to the Western Australian Centre for Health & Ageing (WACHA) web site focusing on better health in mid-life and beyond.

WACHA is a leading, non-profit clinical research and education Centre that has defined ageing research in Western Australia.

At WACHA we are working to extend healthy lives, to prevent the onset of disabling illnesses, to find better ways to treat diseases common amongst older people and to improve the way heath services are delivered. Our discoveries will have an enormous impact on the future of your health.

We look for ways to deliver the world's best health practice to influence policy and to improve the quality of life for older people and for those who care for them. We advocate healthy lifestyles, positive ageing and health and ageing education.
