Georgina's story is a testament to the power of support. When her mother was diagnosed with dementia, Georgina made a promise to stand by her side. With the help of Dementia Australia, she was able to keep that promise. You can read more about her inspiring journey and make a donation today to help others like Georgina.

Early diagnosis is key in the fight against Alzheimer's, and we are excited to share promising results of a new drug. Our commitment to raising awareness and providing resources extends to our BrainTrack video, which has exceeded 50,000 downloads. Stay informed and empowered with the latest information.

Dementia is not a specific disease, but rather a collection of symptoms caused by disorders affecting the brain. It affects thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform everyday tasks, interfering with normal social and working life. At Dementia Australia, we understand the impact this can have on individuals and their loved ones.

Our advisory committee recently gathered in Adelaide to discuss the latest advancements and strategies for supporting those affected by dementia. We offer a range of resources that provide key information, tips, and advice on dementia, brain health, and living well. Our help sheets offer practical strategies and common sense approaches to address the most commonly raised concerns.
