A joint publication of the NSW Department of Health and Ageing, Disability and Home Care that sets the direction for improving quality of life for people with dementia, carers and families in NSW. It reviews service needs and makes recommendations along a dementia service pathway from awareness through diagnosis, assessment, community, hospital and residential care. It can be used as a checklist for reviewing the way services are currently provided and can encourage reflection on how services could be delivered differently to improve outcomes for people with dementia, carers and families.

This paper from Alzheimers Australia examines surveys of the general public that included questions related to dementia risk reduction. The findings suggest there is poor knowledge of the current evidence for dementia risk reduction. This paper not only highlights the need to raise awareness that it is possible to reduce the risk of dementia and also the need to educate Australians about the link between cardiovascular risk factors and an increased risk of dementia.
