Dementia impacts almost half a million Australians and close to 1.6 million Australians are involved in their care. The number of people living with dementia is set to double in the next 25 years.
A recent Dementia Australia survey found two thirds of health professionals surveyed believed people living with dementia are discriminated against in health and medical settings.
Greater awareness of dementia and how to support people impacted by dementia, will help lift the standard of care and reduce the examples of discrimination that people living with dementia have reported experiencing across the health system.
Dementia Action Week is 19 to 25 September and this year’s theme ‘A little support makes a big difference’ demonstrates how many people living with dementia can continue to live well for many years after their diagnosis.
The campaign provides information and tips to encourage all Australians to increase their understanding of dementia and learn how they can make a difference to the lives of people around them who are impacted – and to help eliminate discrimination.
