Memory Walk & Jog is more than just an event—it's a chance to get active and make a difference.

The difference you make by registering

In New South Wales alone there are over 138,200 people living with dementia. Your fundraising efforts enable Dementia Australia to enhance lives and create a hopeful future for those impacted by dementia.

With your support, we can deliver outstanding services and fuel pioneering research, moving us closer to a future without dementia.

It’s a big thing for our family to take part in Memory Walk & Jog and make a difference for someone else with dementia.

Accessibility

add remove
There is accessible toilets on site and paved walking path for the duration of the course for all lengths

The current location of archway has a lot of grass to get through before you reach the path

Limitations would be:
  • No accessible parking spot close to site (from what I can see on Google maps).
  • The only ramp up onto the grass is at the very end of the car park, meaning you have to walk a long way on a road.
  • The accessible parking is on the other side of Marine Drive, meaning you would have to cross a main road to get to site.
