Maree McCabe AM

@couriermail Thank you to Dementia Australia Ambassador Wally Lewis AM for sharing his experience of CTE and helping to raise awareness

The number of people living with dementia is expected to nearly double by 2054 – that’s the findings of new data released by Dementia Australia. For a breakdown visit: dementia.org.au/about-us/media…

If you have questions about CTE or other types of dementia visit our website: dementia.org.au/about-dementia… or call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500. We're here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

We discussed a joint pre-budget submission call for federal funding to provide support for people living with probable CTE. The submission also asks for an education program to protect the young brains of our school children. Read here: dementia.org.au/sites/default/… 👇

Wally Lewis AM, a former Australian professional rugby player, was announced as a new Dementia Australia Ambassador. The event was also attended by Co-Chairs Senators @polley_helen and @NolaMarinoMP.

‘You only get one brain’ Today we hosted a Parliamentary Friends of Dementia event in Canberra with the Concussion and CTE Coalition on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (#CTE) - a brain condition likely caused by repeated head injuries. Read our highlights 👇🧵
