Alzheimer's Australia National Summit 2013

Alzheimer’s Australia will be hosting their inaugural Younger Onset Dementia: A New Horizon - National Summit on Wednesday 20 March 2013 at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This unique and groundbreaking summit will provide a forum for over 250 service providers, stakeholders and policy makers across the aged care, disability and mental health sectors to discuss and address the challenges they face in the provision of younger onset dementia services.

Attendees will hear directly from people with younger onset dementia and their families about their particular challenges and aspirations for a service sector that better addresses their needs.

Guests will also be addressed by a host of National and International speakers who are leading the way in best practice for younger onset service provision.

For additional information, contact Belinda Nixon, Younger Onset Dementia Project Officer on (03) 9816 5777 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
