Are you concerned about your memory or worried that someone you know may have dementia? <\/p>\n

Dementia Australia has organised a series of information sessions in the South Burnett next month.<\/p>\n

It is estimated there are around 82,270 people living with dementia in Queensland.<\/p>\n

Without a medical breakthrough, this number is expected to increase to about 168,300 by 2054.<\/p>\n

The sessions (listed below) are an opportunity for people living with dementia, their carers, family, and friends to gain a better understanding of dementia and to discuss the support and services Dementia Australia can provide.<\/p>\n

Bookings are essential.<\/p>\n

Registrations can be made online<\/a> or call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800-100-500.<\/strong><\/p>\n
