The extra funding will see the line expanded to include outbound calls to carers of people living with dementia, as well as more specific community supports for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) seniors.
Dementia Action Week 2020 will demonstrate people living with dementia can continue to live active and rich lives many years after diagnosis. It is our role as a community to do the best we can to support people living with dementia live well for as long as possible.
The mental health and wellbeing of senior Australians is a priority during this time. There are a range of supports available if you, or one of your clients, are feeling isolated, worried or need someone to talk to.
