The Alzheimer's Australia NSW Memory Van is a mobile education resource that travels statewide to help raise awareness on the importance of brain health and dementia risk reduction.

Our friendly staff at the Alzheimer's Australia NSW Memory Van can help if you are worried about your own or someone else's memory, interested in finding out more about memory and ageing and what you can do to lead a brain-healthy lifestyle.

The Memory Van provides communities with information designed to help educate and assist people living with dementia, their carers and health professionals. Staff can also assist with enquiries about memory loss, local dementia services and support.

The Memory Van is fully equipped with FREE Help Sheets and Fact Sheets and information about memory loss and how to reduce the risk of developing dementia.

You can stop in and visit the Alzheimer's Australia NSW Memory Van at Boorowa, Courthouse Park, Thursday, October 23, from 9am to 11am.

There are 1,700 new cases of dementia a week in Australia and 1 in 3 Australians with dementia live in NSW. Dementia is fatal and there is, as yet, no cure.

Alzheimer's Australia NSW is the charity for people with dementia and their families and carers.

As the peak body, it provides advocacy, support services, education and information.

More than 332,000 people have dementia in Australia. This number is projected to reach more than half a million by 2030.
