Volunteers

On this Episode, and in honour and recognition of National Volunteer Week – with the key message for 2024 being “Something for everyone” - we’ll be exploring the importance of volunteers in the dementia care space, the role they play in ensuring quality care is provided to those living with dementia, and how dementia education can provide knowledge and confidence to these often thankless but essential support workers in the healthcare industry.

We extend this respect to elders’ past, present, and emerging, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We also pay respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living with dementia and their carers.

We’d like to acknowledge the valuable work of all volunteers in the dementia care space, with special thanks to researchers and contributors in the making of this episode.
