Dementia Australia

We are proud to officially announce the launch of Dementia Australia - the new voice of Alzheimer's Australia. Dementia Australia is the unified, national peak body for people, of all ages, living with all forms of dementia, their families and carers. We operate across Australia. From a grassroots community of passionate carers around Australia we have evolved into the leading organisation providing a voice for people impacted by dementia. With Alzheimer’s disease as the most common form, there are more than 100 types of dementia and, for this reason, as an organisation our message needs to be inclusive of all. We have a challenge ahead of us. We know that awareness and understanding about dementia is still alarmingly low. We know the prevalence of dementia is growing. We know too that many Australians do not know we are here for them. We know that dementia is the second leading cause of death of Australians and the leading cause of death of women in Australia. Sadly, we know it is fatal and there is currently no cure. At our hearts we are the same organisation that you know, as Dementia Australia we will be bigger, stronger and bolder. You can contact us via the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500 or our website www.dementia.org.au.
