Get active and beat dementia in Brisbane!

Dementia Australia 2 mins read

The 2025 Brisbane Memory Walk & Jog is nearly here with the event taking place on Sunday 8 June at Rocks Riverside Park, Seventeen Mile Rocks. 

 

Dementia Australia’s largest annual fundraising event returns to Brisbane in the hopes of attracting our biggest crowd yet, with participants helping to raise funds in support of people living with dementia, their families and carers.

 

Join MC and actor Takaya Honda for a wonderful fun, family friendly day out. Each event is a fantastic opportunity for people impacted by dementia and their supporters to come together to walk or run, raise much-needed funds and to connect.  

 

More than 17,570 live with dementia in Brisbane. Dementia is the second leading cause of death of Australians and the leading cause of death of Australian women.

 

As the number of Australians impacted by dementia continues to grow, it is more important than ever that we raise funds and encourage everyone to get active for their brain health.

 

Get active and beat dementia, sign-up to participate in Memory Walk & Jog or volunteer at https://www.memorywalk.com.au/event/brisbane/home.

How AI can improve dementia detection

Researchers from the National Centre for Healthy Ageing (NCHA), a partnership between Monash University and Peninsula Health, have developed a novel method for improving dementia detection in hospitals by combining traditional methods with artificial intelligence (AI). Approximately 50 million people worldwide live with dementia, a number expected to triple by 2050, according to the World Alzheimer Report. In Australia, there is still a need to substantially improve our methods for counting people with dementia.
