🧠 Wrapping Up Dementia Action Week 2025
As we reach the end of Dementia Action Week, we want to thank our community for joining us in reflecting, learning, and acting for a more dementia-friendly future.

This week has reminded us that small, everyday actions — being patient, inclusive, and understanding — make a big difference for those living with dementia and their families.

At Beauaraba Medical, we’re proud to work alongside aged care, families, and our wider community to promote respect, reduce stigma, and offer compassionate care for all.

Let’s keep the conversation going — not just this week, but every day.
💙 Together, we can build a more inclusive, supportive community.

Dementia Australia is the national peak body providing information, advice and support to the more than 421,000 Australians living with dementia, their families and carers.

🌿 Dementia Action Week | 15–21 September 2025

“Act Now for a Dementia-Friendly Future”

At Beauaraba Medical Centre, we’re proud to support Dementia Action Week — a time to reflect, learn, and act to make our community more inclusive and supportive for those living with dementia and their families.

💡 Did you know? Dementia affects nearly 433,000 Australians — and that number is growing.

Here’s how we can all help:
✔️ Be patient and understanding
✔️ Support inclusive signage and environments
✔️ Learn the early signs and know when to seek help

We work closely with families, aged care staff, and the wider community to ensure compassionate, person-centred care every step of the way.

💬 If you or a loved one are concerned about memory changes, don’t wait — speak to your GP.
