Join A/Prof Colm Cunningham, A/Prof Steve Macfarlane and Holly Markwell as they introduce the series ‘Talking Dementia’. Steve is the head of Clinical Services at The Dementia Centre and Clinical Specialist at Dementia Support Australia. Holly is head of professional development at The Dementia Centre. 

The Talking Dementia series seeks to provide short and informative episodes on the varying types of dementia. 

Dementia Support Australia is a nationwide support service for those living with dementia who are experiencing behavioural and psychological symptoms.  

For those in need of support that is specific to their country we have linked this international repository of support agencies.
