Heat Therapy Advisory Group seeking members

25 May 2026

University of Canberra

Researchers at the University of Canberra are undertaking a project that aims to:

• enhance cardiovascular health in older adults;
• investigate heat therapy as an alternative or complementary approach to traditional exercise regimes;
• improve heat resilience; and
• access the potential for heat therapy to acclimate individuals, thereby building overall resilience.

This research project is supported by a Consumer Group, comprising individuals over the age of 65, that provides invaluable insights from the community's perspective. The University is seeking additional members to join this group.

The project runs for 8 weeks. Participants will be expected to attend the University campus 3 times a week. You will be expected to attend a small number of meetings. You will be compensated for your time.

Contact Dr. Alex Hansen at if interested.
