Dementia Action Week 21-27 September
Each year, Dementia Australia leads Dementia Action Week, raising awareness and encouraging greater understanding of dementia across the Australian community.
Dementia is now Australia’s leading cause of death, with almost half a million Australians living with dementia and more than 1.7 million people involved in their care.
Building greater awareness and understanding of dementia can help to:
• improve support and services for people living with dementia, their families and carers
• increase community understanding of dementia
• reduce stigma and discrimination.
Dementia Action Week 2026 will be held from 21–27 September, with information and resources available to help individuals, organisations and communities get involved.
