Who is
Dementia Australia?
Dementia Australia is the national peak body for people living with dementia, their families and carers. Together, we are working to improve the lives of everyone affected by dementia through support, advocacy and research.
Our impact
We give people living with dementia the understanding, support and respect they deserve, while working towards a better future for everyone living with dementia.
There are 446,500 Australians living with dementia, and an estimated 1.7 million people involved in their care.
Dementia is now the leading cause of death, and there is no cure. Which is why we need your support.
All funds raised through Cuppa Time for Dementia help us provide the essential services, information, education and support programs people living with dementia need. Together, we're on a mission to find treatments, encourage early diagnosis, provide practical help and ultimately find a cure.
Cuppa Time for Dementia is more than sharing a cup of tea. It's about coming together to bring hope, strengthen our community, and show every person living with dementia, their families and carers that they're not facing this journey alone
