About Our Dementia Action Groups
Our Dementia Action Groups bring people together across regions to create communities that understand, include, and support those living with dementia. Guided by the values of community, education, advocacy, support, and wellness, we work collaboratively to build awareness, strengthen connections, and inspire meaningful change. Through monthly meetings, creative programs, and partnerships with local organisations, we promote brain health, share knowledge, and stand beside carers and families. Together, we’re creating a more compassionate, dementia-friendly future for all.
Our Dementia Friendly Areas
Blue Mountains
We meet every month to talk about what our community needs and how we can make things even better. Together, we set goals, share ideas, and take action to create positive change for everyone. Our meetings often include local service providers who share valuable workshops and information to help us all learn and grow. Your feedback means a lot to us — we’d love to hear your thoughts and keep building a stronger, more connected community together.

Hawkesbury
Brings together people living with dementia, carers, families, community members and local services to build a more connected and dementia-friendly Hawkesbury. Through monthly meetings in Windsor, the group shares information, welcomes guest speakers, connects people with local support and listens to what the community needs.
Our focus is on making dementia information easier to find, strengthening local connections, identifying gaps in support and creating practical change shaped by lived experience and local voices.

Parramatta
Dedicated to transforming our city into a place where people living with dementia, including those with Younger Onset Dementia (YOD), feel seen, valued, and supported. By bridging the gap between clinical care and community life, we focus on a three-tier approach: education, inclusion, and proactive brain health.
