Research is central to HammondCare’s Mission to improve quality of life for people in need. Each year, our Research Report highlights the studies, partnerships and innovations shaping better care for people living with dementia, those requiring palliative care, and older people with complex needs.

The 2025 Research Report reflects a continued focus on research that leads to practical change. Across dementia care, palliative care and positive ageing, our work is grounded in real-world care delivery and focused on improving outcomes — from supporting people with complex needs, to enhancing comfort at the end of life, to helping older people stay independent and connected for longer.

The launch of Hammond Innovations marks an important step this year, bringing together research, data and frontline expertise to strengthen the connection between what we know and what we do. The report highlights how we are accelerating the path from evidence to practice — testing new approaches, learning from care, and scaling what works across HammondCare and the wider sector.

By sharing these insights, HammondCare continues to contribute to evidence-based care and system improvement. The report captures progress, learning and impact, reflecting our commitment to research that strengthens care today and shapes what is possible tomorrow.
