The Dementia Awareness Survey is the largest nationally representative community survey of its kind in Australia. It collects information on how much people know about dementia and their attitudes towards dementia and people living with dementia. The survey results will help inform priorities and areas for dementia awareness initiatives and prevention activities that can reduce the risk or delay the development of dementia.
