Dementia Action Week 19-25 September 2022

This year’s theme is ‘A little support makes a big difference’. We know discrimination has a big impact on people living with dementia, their families and carers, and a little support from the community and health care professionals can make a big difference.

An estimated 65 per cent of Australians living with dementia live in the community. This could be a family member, friend, neighbour. A better understanding of dementia can help you make a positive difference to the lives of people who are impacted by this condition – and help eliminate discrimination.

If you’re looking for a way to show your support this Dementia Action Week, why not host an event? Dementia Australia have several resources to help you host an event or get-together, including videos from guest speakers, informational slides, conversation starters and more. Read more here.
