Dr Sahar Barmomanesh is a researcher based in Adelaide, working within the Registry of Senior Australians (ROSA) Research Centre at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute and Flinders University. Her research focuses on ageing, aged care services, and health outcomes among older Australians, using large-scale linked administrative data.
Her work integrates national datasets, including aged care, hospital, pharmaceutical, and social welfare data, to examine pathways into long-term care and health service utilisation. She has a particular interest in socioeconomic inequalities in ageing, including the role of social welfare and homeownership in shaping access to care and entry into permanent residential aged care.
Dr Barmomanesh applies advanced epidemiological methods, including causal inference approaches and competing risks modelling, to generate policy-relevant evidence. Her research aims to inform aged care planning, improve equity in service access, and support better outcomes for older people.
