Dementia Action Week
Dementia Action Week is back for 2026, from 21-27 September!
An immense thank you to everyone who was involved and spread the word during Dementia Action Week 2025- we could not have done it without you!
In 2026, there are an estimated 446,500 people living with dementia across Australia, and that figure is projected to double to over one million people by 2065.
With the number of Australians living with dementia growing, we want to make Dementia Action Week 2026 our biggest year yet.
More information around this year’s theme and how you can get involved will be coming soon - in the meantime, check out some of our resources below and see how you can support someone impacted by dementia.
