In July 2022, Injilinji Aged Care entered into a Research Collaboration Agreement with James Cook University for the purpose of Piloting a continuous quality improvement framework to strengthen quality of care in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residential aged care. The Agreement was scheduled to end in June 2024; however, a variation has allowed the project to run through until December 2024.
The Resident Elders, Community Clients and staff team at Injilinji Aged Care always get into the racing spirit for Melbourne Cup Day, with a delightful buffet luncheon and lots of party treats. There were plenty who dressed for the occasion, in fun hats, ties, jockey colours and fascinators.
