Consultancy: dementia support
We partner with aged care, health and community organisations to build dementia-capable systems, confident teams and better experiences for people living with dementia.
Since 2012, Dementia Australia consulting has supported over 50 projects across residential aged care, community care and health settings.

Better outcomes for people living with dementia
Sustainable system change
Proof that change is possible
Participating sites have reported outcomes including:
- people living with dementia enjoy purposeful lives
- reduced changed behaviours
- reduced falls and restrictive practices
- families feel respected, welcomed and valued
The consultancy changed the way we thought about dementia. It helped us move from good intentions to practical changes that improved daily life, engagement and confidence across the team
