Dementia Australia Montpelier Retreat, Battery Point, Tasmania 7004

Welcome to Dementia Australia, a leading institution dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by dementia. Located in Battery Point, Montpelier Retreat, our establishment serves as a crucial point of interest for those seeking assistance and information about this complex condition.

Dementia is not a specific disease, but rather a collection of symptoms caused by disorders affecting the brain. It impacts thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform daily tasks, often interfering with one's social and working life. Understanding the importance of early diagnosis, we are thrilled to share promising results of a new Alzheimer's drug that have been recently published.

At Dementia Australia, we believe in the power of stories, like Georgina's. After her mother's diagnosis, Georgina made a promise to stand by her, and with our support, she was able to keep this promise. We invite you to read more about Georgina's inspiring journey and consider donating to help us continue providing vital support to individuals and families affected by dementia.

Our institution offers a wide range of resources to empower individuals with key information, tips, and advice about dementia, brain health, and living well. Our help sheets provide practical strategies and common-sense approaches to address the most commonly raised concerns about dementia. However, if you prefer a more personal touch, we encourage you to reach out to our National Dementia Helpline at 1800 100 500.

Dementia Australia is committed to serving all members of the community, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We have developed a series of help sheets specifically designed to inform and support these communities in understanding dementia. Additionally, we offer resources translated into 38 languages, ensuring that language is not a barrier to accessing crucial information. Please note that our translated resources are currently under review, and we appreciate your patience as we work to update them as quickly as possible.

We also host informative sessions on various topics related to dementia, such as the process of considering and preparing for residential care, as well as the emotional impact of the changes caused by dementia. These sessions provide valuable insights and support to individuals and families navigating the challenges of dementia.

At Dementia Australia, we are dedicated to supporting those affected by dementia and ensuring that life's most important promises are kept. Join us in our mission by exploring our resources, donating to our cause, or reaching out to our helpline. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those impacted by dementia.
