About peer support
Anyone in Australia who lives with dementia or cares for someone living with dementia can get support from a volunteer Peer Leader.
A Peer Leader is someone who’s had similar experiences to you and can share parts of their journey that may be helpful.
- Share your challenges
- Get help from someone who knows
- Feel less alone on your journey
Talk to someone who gets it
A person living with dementia is matched to another person living with dementia; a carer is matched to a carer.
Whether it's a single call or several, there's nothing like talking to someone who gets it.
