Dementia Support Australia
Dementia Support Australia (DSA) is a free nationwide service funded by the Australian Government and led by HammondCare. We offer free, evidence-based support nationwide, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via our help line 1800 699 799 or our website: dementia.com.au
We focus on getting to know the person with dementia and their individual experiences, likes and dislikes and routines. After careful assessment, we provide personalised expert advice and strategies – working with you, the person with dementia and their wider care network to address their needs and allow for ongoing care and support.
Funded by the Australian Government and led by HammondCare, we bring together industry-wide expertise, build sector capacity and create partnerships for better dementia care around the country. Our nationwide service recognises the individual experiences of people living with dementia and recommends the ideal service level for each person.
