For detailed information on the campaign down load the Fight Dementia Campaign Action Plan here.
We must all stand up to Fight Dementia. You can help support the campaign and every Australian affected by dementia.
The Fight Dementia campaign is about raising awareness, increasing understanding and securing guaranteed funding.
You can show your support by:
1. Signing up as a Dementia Champion
We need 100,000 Dementia Champions signed up so please ask your family, friends and colleagues to sign up as well. You can also show your support at Fight Dementia Facebook.
2. Writing to your Federal Member and Senator
We need you to share your story and highlight the issues or the successes of your journey with dementia. You can find a sample letter here and a list of Members of Parliament here and Senators here.
3. Request a meeting with your Federal Representatives
Keep the conversation going. We have marched at Parliament House and sent thousands of Valentine’s Day cards to our political leaders with your messages on them, but you can keep the conversation going. Hold a meeting with your Federal Representatives so you can further explain the issues that are important.
4. Share the story of your journey with dementia
Sharing your story through this website, with media and with the general community will help to raise awareness of how dementia affects the lives of 1.5 million Australians. You can do this by sending your story of no more than 200 words to fightdementia@alzheimers.org.au
