About our Dementia-Friendly Community
Our Dementia-friendly community was founded in 2000 by Michael Thompson and Harry Wilson, who are dedicated to enhancing the lives of those who are living with dementia. With the commitment to bringing positive change in the dementia community across Australia, we have represented 400,300 Australians living with this disease with the assistance of millions of volunteers who are associated with us in this noble cause.
We support and advocate for the specific needs of people living with different types of dementia and for their families so that they can live a more stable and contentment life. Our counsellors and experts provide support services, information and education via our events and awareness campaigns. Our organisation works with the sole aim to promote awareness of dementia and provide research materials to promising researchers. Our dedicated and inspired volunteers are committed to giving quality life to those aged people suffering from memory loss or dementia symptoms. We organise workshops, dementia awareness programmes and events to let people make a big difference in the lives of those who are affected by this disease. So, let us take a step forward together and fight against Dementia.
