Seen and Heard: An exploration of the impact that an intergenerational program has on Australian teens and seniors
Using intergroup contact theory and age segregation theory, this study explores the impact that intergenerational programs have on Australian adolescents and older adults by conducting a concurrent embedded mixed methods exploration of a pilot program between adolescents (n = 8) and older adults (n = 6) living in the community. This study finds that intergenerational programs significantly shape adolescents’ perceptions of their character develop…
Investigating Feasibility in a Pilot Intergenerational Program Bringing Preschool Children and Older Adults Together in the Community (Interaction): Child Outcomes
This pilot study explores the feasibility of a novel intergenerational program bringing preschool children and community-dwelling older adults together. This paper reports the acceptability of this program and the feasibility of collecting empirically robust assessment measures. Using a non-randomized wait-listed controlled trial design, 20 children were recruited across two preschools, with one preschool assigned to the intervention group (n = 1…
Addressing the challenge of engaging in paid work while undertaking unpaid caring: Insights for Improving Employment Inclusion of Young Carers
Purpose This paper aims to explore challenges and opportunities associated with young carers' employment in Australia. Design/methodology/approach Using a multi-stakeholder approach, this study captures the reflections of stakeholders ( n = 8) and young carers ( n = 10) about opportunities for, and experiences of, paid employment for young carers. Findings Despite many organisations internationally increasingly pushing diversity agendas and sugge…
Barriers and Enablers for Enhancing Engagement of Older People in Intergenerational Programs in Australia
Intergenerational programs that bring the young and old together are known to facilitate social connections. However, benefits of intergenerational programs cannot be achieved by simply bringing the two generations together. We need to understand the factors which enhance intergenerational engagement. This paper specifically explores barriers and enablers for improving engagement of older people in an intergenerational program conducted within fo…

Unpacking intergenerational (IG) programs for policy implications: A systematic review of the literature
Developing an Evidenced Based Intergenerational Pedagogy in Australia
This paper presents a systematic literature review of the qualitative evidence in relation to intergenerational learning programs, principles, and practices. The aim of the review is to develop the evidence base to form an Intergenerational Model of Practice Framework based on the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). The EYLF comprises three inter-related elements: principles, practice, and outcomes. The results of this systematic literature re…
Intergenerational care as a viable intervention strategy for children at risk of delinquency
Literature has consistently cited early childhood interventions as an effective method for mitigating or preventing future delinquency in at‐risk children. In this manuscript, we propose an adapted model of Intergenerational Care presenting as a possible intervention strategy for children at risk of delinquency. This model of care draws from programmes that provide formal care and support for older people and young children, with a primary focus …
Making Intergenerational Care a Possibility in Australia: A Review of the Australian Legislation
In the Australian context, the out-of-home care of children and respite service for older adults are segregated. Yet internationally there has been a shift toward intergenerational programs that purposefully bring together younger and older people for mutual benefits. This paper examines the enablers of, supports for, and constraints of introducing intergenerational care programs (IGC) within the Australian legislation and regulations of child-ca…
The association between cognitive impairment and community service use patterns in older people living in Australia
Family plays a vital role in supporting individuals with dementia to reside in the community, thus delaying institutionalisation. Existing research indicates that the burden of care-giving is particularly high for those caring for a person with dementia. Yet, little is known about the uptake of community services by people with a diagnosis of dementia. Therefore, this study aims to better understand the relationship between cognitive impairment a…
