It is #dementiaactionweek and we're calling on Australians to increase their understanding of dementia. With a little support, we can make a significant difference to the lives of Australians impacted by dementia.
Today Dementia Australia released a letter signed by more than 200 prominent Australians and Dementia Advocates calling for the government to fund quality dementia care in next month’s Federal Budget.

My presentation will be personal, at times emotional and confronting. But by putting the human back into policy-speak I hope to demonstrate why implementing the Roadmap is absolutely essential for the future of all us. https://t.co/QrkxaGv5Fj
On 14 April I will address the National Press Club, “Dementia is not about them - it is about you and me!” A Roadmap for quality dementia care – achievable, sustainable and transformational - and absolutely essential” - Dementia Australia’s plan for quality dementia care.

@theiAwards@DementiaAus @DeakinA2I2 @AIIA_ICT The team at Dementia Australia should be rightly proud of this award - another recognition of their innovation, dedication and commitment to those members of our community living with dementia and their carers.
@B92200 @BMWi3guide @BMWi@with_i3 My i3 turns heads wherever I go. Some think it quirky, others just wonder. For me it is so agile and much fun. And I still chuckle every time a pass a petrol station - I can’t remember the last time I visited one. And that is a part of my life I don’t miss for one moment.
At the age of 59 Dennis was diagnosed with dementia. Since then Dennis has been involved with a number of community initiatives and he is able to continue living well with dementia with a few small changes to his home environment. Find out more https://t.co/pDBfGYKFZi
@PaulVealsReal @BMWi3guide Fun describes completely my experience with my recent i3 acquisition - the substitute for a 12 cyl Bentley! And every time i pass a petrol station, i can’t help but have a little satisfied smile.
It’s been a long 5 weeks under lockdown for many Victorians and there’s still a long way to go. During this time #abc730 captured images that show how much life in Melb & parts of Vic changed. George Stirling, @AustBoysChoir, sings Meet Me In The Middle Of The Air @Chris_Gillett_
