Dementia impacts close to half a million Australians and almost 1.6 million Australians are involved in their care.

People living with dementia can live active and fulfilling lives many years after diagnosis. Despite this, they often experience discrimination. LGBTI people living with dementia also face the intersection of discrimination and stigma based on their sexuality, intersex status or gender identity.
