Parliamentary Friends of Dementia heads to South Australia
South Australian Advocates gathered at Parliament House to mark the first inaugural Parliamentary Friends of Dementia roundtable.
Nine Advocates shared their ideas and insights for a dementia-friendly state and showcased the work they have been doing in their own communities.
Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe AM, together with Dementia Co-Convenors Erin Thompson MP and Penny Pratt MP, facilitated the conversation reinforcing the commitment to the development of a Dementia-Friendly Communities Action plan for South Australia.
Thank you to all the Advocates involved:
- Ann and Timothy Pietsch
- Geoff and Trish Richards
- Claire White
- Annette Viska, Mission Support Worker
- Yvonne Hotchkiss
- John Thorpe
- Vern Marshall
A copy of the action plan will be available for Advocates at a later date. If you are interested in being involved in future Parliamentary Friends of Dementia events, please get in touch with the Consumer Engagement Coordinator representing your state or territory.
