Dementia Action Week runs from 21-27 September 2026 and encourages all Australians to start a conversation about dementia.
Dementia is not a normal part of ageing. Persistent changes in memory, thinking, mood, behaviour or the ability to manage everyday activities are worth discussing with a GP - at any age.
Looking after your general health can also support long-term brain health. Managing blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes; staying active; addressing hearing or vision loss; avoiding smoking; and staying socially connected may help reduce future risk.
