Dementia Awareness Month is Dementia Australia’s national awareness-raising campaign held every year throughout September. It aims to encourage all Australians to become more aware of dementia, gain a better understanding of what it is like to live with dementia and how we can support people living with dementia.

“Dementia is the second leading cause of death of Australians.”

There are many small actions people can take to create a big difference for people impacted by dementia, their families and carers. We can all work towards being aware of dementia and actively reducing the stigma and discrimination surrounding it.

Get involved this September by:

• Organising your own fundraiser
• Raising awareness on social media
• Donating to the foundation
