Helping People To Manage Their Memory Health
Sure we forget the keys now and then, but if you’ve noticed your memory health has changed and you’d like to do something about it – read on.
The numbers tell the story, in Australia:
- An estimated 290 people each day join the population with dementia
- 1 in 10 people over the age of 65 years have dementia,
- 3 in 10 people over 80 years have dementia. (1)
- Less than 1 in 3 people are expected to talk to their GP for a memory or dementia assessment
There is no cure for dementia so personalised risk management and prevention is where it is at. The good news is personalised brain and memory health actions can reduce the lifetime risk of dementia in 1 in 3 people. (2)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Memory Health Clinic and who is it for?
The Memory Health Clinic supports adults who are noticing changes in memory, thinking, or concentration. It’s designed for people who want clarity on whether changes are part of normal ageing, stress-related, or linked to a neurological condition. Families and carers are also welcome, as we know these questions affect everyone involved.
How is a memory clinic different from seeing a GP or specialist?
Your GP is often the first point of contact. A memory clinic complements this by providing a more detailed, functional assessment of how memory and thinking changes affect daily life. We use validated tools, and the results can be shared with your GP, neurologist, or support team to guide next steps. Think of it as adding practical detail to the bigger medical picture.
What happens during a memory clinic assessment?
Assessments usually take place in our clinic and involve structured conversations, cognitive tests, and functional tasks. These look at attention, memory, problem-solving, and planning. We translate results into clear explanations and practical recommendations. Families often say the greatest value is walking away with clarity, not just test scores.
What are the benefits of attending the Memory Health Clinic?
- Clarify whether memory changes are typical or need further review.
