Nobody can do it alone - Changing Behaviours and the Impact on Emergency Planning

Dementia Action Week
Date
Thursday, 18 September 2025
Time
9:00am- 1:00pm AEDT

Willoughby City Council invites you to a free workshop designed to help carers and aged care providers understand the changing behaviours of people with dementia and how this may affect emergency planning and preparedness.

Everyone in Australia should prepare for natural disasters. If you are a carer for someone living with dementia, it’s especially important to consider how you can best support and protect them - and yourself - during emergencies.


Willoughby City Council warmly welcomes guest presenters:
- Anne Chiu, Dementia Support Australia
- Dr Linda Shnitker, Research Fellow, Queensland University of Technology and Bolton Clarke Research
- Australian Red Cross

Resources Provided
All attendees will receive a copy of:
• Preparing for Natural Disasters: Guide to Using RediPlan for Carers of People Living with Dementia
• Australian Red Cross RediPlan


Registration is essential.

Morning tea and light lunch provided.
