It's been a month since StepUp for Dementia Research founder Professor Yun-Hee Jeon appeared on Channel 9's Today Extra show with 60 Minutes Australia producer Serge Negus, to raise awareness for Australia's first Living with Dementia Survey.

The segment brought attention to Serge's own story of being impacted by the weight of dementia, as his father, the late George Negus, sadly passed away in 2023 after a decade of living with dementia. Serge has thought deeply about his father's care and what a survey like this can do to raise the standard of support in Australia.

If you are living with dementia or you care for someone who does, please sign up today to take part in the survey at stepupfordementiaresearch.org.au. Act today, to give hope tomorrow.

🚀 Australia's first national Living with Dementia Survey opens this week!

The survey is seeking responses from 2,000 people living with dementia and 2,000 people that support someone living with dementia.

This is the first and largest survey of its kind in Australia, and StepUp for Dementia Research is proud to be helping to recruit participants for the study leaders at the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - AIHW and University of Canberra.

Giving people impacted by dementia a voice and a platform to express what they want and need in their care is incredibly powerful. In fact, it's vital to drive the change we need and deserve.

The survey will be used by the Australian Government, other policymakers and researchers to help improve the way we support people living with dementia.

Please share with anyone you know to spread the word about this vital research.

Anyone can sign up to be considered for the national survey via the StepUp for Dementia Research website at www.stepupfordementiaresearch.org.au
