Are you concerned about your memory or worried that someone you know may have dementia? Dementia Australia is offering a range of support in Dubbo between 28 Feb and 2 March 2023.
There are an estimated 135,000 people living with dementia in New South Wales. Without a medical breakthrough this number is expected to increase to an estimated 260,000 people living with dementia by 2058.
