Dementia is one of the most significant health challenges facing Australia and impacts hundreds of thousands of individuals, families and carers across the country.
While these figures highlight the scale of the challenge, Souths Cares and Dementia Training Australia are working together to increase awareness and connect communities with free education, training and practical resources that support people living with dementia and those who care for them.
