This resource draws on the two studies conducted by Val’s Café at the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, La Trobe University. The first was an LGBTI Dementia project conducted in partnership with Alzheimer’s Australia to document the experiences and needs of LGBTI people living with dementia.
The second was a Trans Ageing and Aged Care project conducted in the collaboration with the Gender Centre NSW, Transgender Victoria, and FTM Shed to document trans people’s experience of ageing and aged care, including their experience with dementia.
This research is pioneering – the needs of LGBT Australians living with dementia have not previously been researched. In doing so we have gained new insights and have the opportunity to improve dementia and aged care services.
