Dementia Australia checklist
In addition to connecting with your GP and local services on a regular basis, consider using Dementia Australia's Dementia Guide, the go-to resource for people living with dementia their carers and family. The guide supports people to better understand more about dementia, the treatments, support and services available.
The guide also includes a checklist that offers steps that can be taken during the first month and first 6 months of diagnosis, to help you to live well now and make plans for the future. (The checklist can be found in section 10 of the Dementia Guide).
