In Australia, more than 436,370 people are living with dementia, and we are helping those by organising awareness programs and workshops across the country.
Dementia is a common term used for a decline in mental ability severe. It describes multiple symptoms affecting memory, social and thinking abilities. These symptoms badly affect the daily functioning of the mind. There is a collection of symptoms that can cause dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common causes of dementia in older adults.We take pride in creating a community of people, of all ages, living with different forms of dementia, their families and loved ones.

Making a small effort in improving the lives of people with dementia
We, at Dementia Net, proudly organise educaMaking a small effort in improving the lives of people with dementiational seminars and workshops for people living with dementia, their families and carers. Our sole aim is to transform the way people think and reacts about dementia. We have a team of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers in all the major cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide, etc. who are working together to enhance the quality of life of those who are suffering from dementia. We organise seminars, awareness programs and workshops to let people understand the basic concept and improve the social, physical and mental abilities of their loved ones living with this disease.
Mentally Stimulating Activities
Effective memory training might delay the onset of dementia and also minimise its effects. Our community specialises in organising indoor activities to keep the patient’s mind active by introducing fun-loving games such as solving puzzles, word games, etc. Besides engaging the elderlies in fun games, we encourage them to perform mentally simulating activities such as knitting, reading, singing, painting, doing small chores etc. These activities can be performed in groups or alone depending on the comfort of a person.
Social Interaction Sessions
Experts believe that social and physical activities might delay the onset of dementia and that’s the reason why we organise social interaction and outdoor activities for those who are suffering from Dementia. We encourage them to participate in our workshop and let them interact with others. We understand having this mental illness is very lonely and it feels like no one understands the pain of the affected person. But, we make sure that through social interaction, patients can find comfort and solace in knowing they are not alone.
Awareness Programs
People with dementia need proper assistance from doctors and their loved ones. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet is one of the best ways to reduce the symptoms of dementia. We have a team of highly experienced doctors and dieticians who are always ready to bring more awareness about this disease. The best way to defeat any disease is to know as much as you can about it. Thus, we organise awareness programs across Australia, including Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide, etc.

Our Dedication
We work together to achieve targeted goals.
Dementia is a crippling disease that not only affects the quality of life of people suffering from the disease but also of those who care fir them. therefore, we are always on the look out for more and more kind hearted people to join our quest to help dementia patients and their families. Dementia is a public health issue in Australia and people who are living with a loved on suffering from the disease need help with food, clothes and carer responsibilities. Therefore, with help of our volunteers, we can conduct food drives, donation camps, and other helpful events. However, that’s not all. Our volunteers help carers by taking over their responsibilities for a few hours or a day. It is their way of giving carers the much needed and deserved break. Therefore, if you are willing to help with out events or take care of a patient with dementia, contact our team right now to enrol in our volunteer program. You can choose how many hours you want to volunteer and on what days. We provide a flexible schedule for our volunteers because we understand that you have a life and we appreciate whatever assistance we can get!

We have organised an event to assist individuals and families through our dementia counselling sessions.
