About
Dementia Australia
Australia's trusted source of information, support, advocacy and education on dementia.
Supporting people.
Driving change.
Advancing prevention.
We give people with dementia the respect they deserve and the support they need.
Dementia is the leading cause of death in Australia.
It affects the lives of millions of Australians: our parents, partners, friends and neighbours. For too long it's been misunderstood, and for too long people affected have had to face it alone.
That's what we're here to change.
Dementia Australia is the nation’s home of information, advice and support for people living with dementia, their families and carers.
MW&J is a wonderful show of community spirit with people walking, jogging and running in support of people living with dementia, their families and carers.
