In the Dementia Awareness Month, we would like to raise awareness together with Dementia Institute Australia and all community to reduce the impact of discrimination on people living with dementia, their families & carers.

Dementia is the term used to describe the symptoms of a number of illnesses that affect the brain. It is not one specific disease. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease.

Dementia causes a progressive decline in a person’s functioning and affects a person’s thinking, behaviour and ability to perform everyday tasks.
