Dementia Partnership Project

The Dementia Partnership Project is a partnership between the Department of Health in Western Australia and Alzheimer’s Australia WA which aims to enhance the experience and improve the quality of life of people living with dementia in the community who access support services.

The project’s primary aim will be to build capacity within the community care sector in a variety of ways, with a focus on assisting community care providers and health professionals to further develop their skills when responding to the needs of people living with dementia.

The project does not deliver direct care services but will work in collaboration with service providers, consumer groups and the wider community to improve care and support and promote sustainable outcomes with a priority given to the use of a person-centred philosophy.
