The House of Representatives Health and Ageing Committee will meet with the Coordinator-General for Remote Indigenous Services at Parliament House this Friday, as part of its inquiry into dementia: early diagnosis and intervention.
This follows the federal parliamentary committee’s recent visits to Broome and Alice Springs, where it heard from dementia care service-providers who service remote Indigenous communities in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
The committee will also hear from representatives of the Department of Health and Ageing, regarding how the Department will respond to the challenge posed by the expected increase in people with dementia, in line with population ageing. Representatives of the Minister’s Dementia Advisory Group, formed to advise the Minister for Ageing on issues relating to dementia care, will also attend.
