Dementia Action Week starts on 19 September (until 25 September) and with this year’s theme being, ‘A little support makes a big difference’, here’s what your pharmacy can do to raise awareness for this debilitating condition.
Dementia Action Week is a national awareness-raising initiative and this year we will continue to raise awareness to increase understanding of dementia and the impact of discrimination.
Discrimination has a significant impact on people living with dementia, their families and carers, and a little support from the community and health care professionals can make a big difference.
This is why the theme this year is: ‘A little support makes a big difference’.
Dementia Action Week campaign activity will include news stories, digital advertising, social media campaigning and television broadcast commercials that include people living with dementia, their families and carers.

Dementia Australia is the source of trusted information, education and services for the estimated half a million Australians living with dementia, and the almost 1.6 million people involved in their care.
The organisation advocates for positive change and supports vital research. It supports people impacted by dementia and enables them to live as well as possible.
