The difference you make by registering
In New South Wales alone there are an estimated 141,000 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 about joining a community of people who all share an understanding of the uniqueness of dementia.
