LGBT+ people and dementia

Dementia can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, culture, or if you’re lesbian, gay, bi+ or trans. But if you are a member of the LGBT+ community, your needs might include affirming, inclusive, sensitive support, community connection and information.

Dementia Australia has partnered with ACON, a nationally recognised LGBTQ+ health organisation, with support from the Victorian government, to create this page: a collection of links, resources, information and support dedicated to members of the community impacted by dementia.
