Help guide the future of dementia care in Australia

Facebook Twitter Email Copy

Published date: 30 November 2022

If you live with dementia, or care for someone who does, you’re invited to help develop a National Dementia Action Plan - that will guide the future of dementia care in Australia.

The Department of Health and Aged Care has released a National Dementia Action Plan Public Consultation Paper – and we’d like your feedback.  

The deadline to provide feedback is Tuesday, 31 January 2023.

What is the National Dementia Action Plan?

The National Dementia Action Plan is a joint initiative between the Australian Government and state and territory governments.

The 10-year plan will put people living with dementia, their families, and carers at the centre of all action on dementia.

It will mean a better coordinated approach:

  • to risk reduction
  • early diagnosis
  • improvements in services for those living with dementia, carers and family.

How do I get involved?

We recommend that you first read the National Dementia Action Plan Public Consultation Paper Summary.

You can give your feedback in one of the following ways:

  • Complete a short, 15-minute online survey 
  • Email us at dementiaplan@health.gov.au
  • Post your feedback to National Dementia Action Plan, MDP 765, GPO Box 9848, Canberra ACT 2601
  • Call 1800 565 789 and tell us what you think over the phone or request a hard copy of the paper and/or survey

What’s the deadline to provide feedback?

Public consultation closes on Tuesday, 31 January 2023.
