Resources
See all resourcesThe Dementia Centre leads and collaborates in multidisciplinary research to make a direct and positive impact.
We use our research findings to inform how we deliver our services and we learn from the people we serve about issues that need to be answered through research. Our consulting services, educational outreach and clinical services are underpinned by evidence created through research.
The Dementia Centre has extensive collaborations with key dementia research organisations in Australia and around the world to deliver a broad international perspective on issues that affect the lives of people with dementia, their families, and what, how and when services are provided.
