WHAT: Dementia Action Week 2025 is from Monday 15 September to Sunday 21 September, which includes World Alzheimer's Day on Sunday 21 September.
THEME: This year's theme is 'Nobody can do it alone'. Dementia doesn't just impact the person living with the condition and their immediate carers; it also impacts their family, friends and wider social network. People living with dementia tell us that friends and family often drop away, not knowing how to interact with them once they have a diagnosis - leading to social isolation and loneliness.
CALL TO ACTION: This Dementia Action Week, Dementia Australia is challenging everyone in the community to reach out and reconnect to someone impacted by dementia. Head to dementia.org.au/DementiaActionWeek for practical information, toolkits and resources.
SPOKESPEOPLE: Interviews are available with Dementia Australia representatives, Dementia Australia Dementia Advocates, who are people with a living experience of dementia, and Dementia Australia Honorary Medical Advisors.
