Are you concerned about your memory or worried that someone you know may have dementia? Dementia Australia is offering support in Katherine, Northern Territory, between 24 and 25 November 2026.
It is estimated there are 1,850 people living with dementia in the Northern Territory. Without a medical
breakthrough this number is expected to increase to 3,600 people living with dementia by 2054.
