Dementia Australia will no longer be accepting referrals for this service through the My Aged Care portal. However, this program will continue under different funding arrangements, with changes to program eligibility, including:
• Accessibility across all of Australia
• No restrictions for people who have other funding packages in place
• Availability to a wider range of ages
• No client contributions
Referrals can be made online: https://www.dementia.org.au/professionals/gps-and-other-referrers/refer…
Alternatively, your client can access our individualised dementia support services, by contacting the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500.
Dementia Australia’s individualised dementia support includes a mix of direct services, tailored support and expert advice. These services are for people living with dementia, mild cognitive impairment, or individuals seeking a diagnosis (and their carers).
