Dementia Action Week, 21-27 September 2026

It’s time to talk about dementia. Almost .5 million Australians are living with dementia today and over 1.7 million people are involved in their care.

But we don’t talk about it enough, it can feel too hard to raise. We worry about saying the wrong thing. And it’s often wrongly seen as just a part of getting older.

But silence has a cost - delayed diagnoses and treatment, carers who feel isolated, and people who never learn that help is here.

When we talk about dementia, we can:

Improve support and services for Australians

Improve understanding of dementia

Reduce stigma and discrimination
