Dementia Australia is launching a new Demntia Guide as a comprehensive resource to support people living with dementia, their families and carers.

Recent figures show that in 2020 the number of Australians estimated to be living with dementia has increased to 459,000.

As the number of people living with dementia in Australia increases, so too does the number of people who provide support.

The Dementia Guide has been created to be relevant for people of all ages living with all forms of dementia and those impacted by dementia.

The Guide can assist everyone to learn about dementia, treatments, and available support and services.

Bobby Redman, who lives with dementia and is a member of the Dementia Australia Advisory Committee, said the guide is a great resource for anyone.

He says “It is especially useful for the newly diagnosed to help to gain an understanding of how to continue to lead a productive life.”
