Today we launch the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Roadmap for Dementia Research and Translation - we were lucky enough to speak to researchers, carers, consumer advocates and health service providers to find out what the Roadmap means to them: bit.ly/38alUtj

We strongly encourage everyone - researchers, health service providers, people living with dementia, their families, carers, and advocates to share the Roadmap far and wide, and help close the gap in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities when dealing with dementia.

The Roadmap and corresponding report on the national consultation process are available on the NNIDR website: bit.ly/3dwBu3l
