ISLAND Update - May 2025

Cognitive and movement tests

Early next month you will be invited to participate in the ISLAND cognitive and movement tests. These help us investigate the relationship between dementia risk knowledge and behaviours, and changes in thinking and memory. Two of the tests will be offered to everyone - CANTAB and TasTest. With an additional TapTalk test offered to those of you who completed CANTAB in 2023. To read more about the tests please click on the embedded links.

Campus Semester 2

We hope all of our new Campus participants are enjoying their first semester of study.

If you expressed interest in the ISLAND Campus study between October 2024 and January 2025, but didn't enroll to study in Semester 1, now is your opportunity to get involved in Semester 2! The courses on offer include Diploma's in Sustainable living, Dementia Care, Fine Arts, Languages, Writing and English, Creative Arts and Health, and Ageing Studies and Services.

Please click through to your ISLAND home dashboard for more information on how to be a part of the Campus study for 2025 or see the FAQ's here. Please note, if you do not see a Campus tile displayed on your home portal you may not have expressed interest. While we hope that entry into Campus may be possible in 2026, we would encourage you to consider engaging with this opportunity in 2025 as whether the courses will be available next year on a fees-free basis is uncertain at this stage.
