Are you concerned about your memory or worried that someone you know may have dementia? Dementia Australia is offering support in Ararat on Thursday 22 May 2025.
It is estimated there are approximately 275 people living with dementia in Ararat. Without a medical breakthrough this number is expected to increase to approximately 522 people by 2054.
Dementia Australia is holding a one-day session at the Alexandra Oval Community Centre for anyone who wants to learn more about dementia. The full day program will include various information sessions on topics including carer gateway support, local social and practical support and dementia and memory services.
Ararat residents impacted by dementia and those who want to learn more are encouraged to attend.

Bookings are essential. Please register online or contact the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500 or dementia.org.au/helpline for more information. The National Dementia Helpline is available 24 hours, seven days a week.
