Information for councils
A commitment by every council in Australia to make their community dementia-friendly would go a long way in helping address the stigma and discrimination experienced by people living with dementia, their families and carers.
During Dementia Action Week, we encourage your council to reach out to your community and learn more about the needs of people living with dementia, their families and carers who are living in your area. Find information, resources and tips on how to get started below.
