Memory Health Clinic Brisbane: Get Answers About Your Memory — And a Plan You Can Act On
There’s a particular kind of worry that builds quietly. The name that wouldn’t come. The appointment you missed. The moment you stood in the kitchen wondering why you walked in.
Maybe it’s you. Maybe it’s your mum or your husband. Either way, the question is the same: “Is this normal — or is this something?”
Our Memory Health Clinic exists to answer that question properly. Not with a two-minute screening and a shrug. With a comprehensive memory assessment, a clear explanation of what we find, and — this is the part most clinics skip — a practical plan for what to do next.
Here's how this page can help you:
"Is My Memory Normal for My Age?" — Who We See
Memory concerns sit on a spectrum, and we work across all of it:
- The worried-well — you’ve noticed changes and want a proper baseline rather than months of quiet anxiety
- Mild cognitive impairment — diagnosed or suspected, where the right strategies now genuinely matter for later
- Memory changes after a health event — surgery, stroke, concussion, illness
- Dementia — where the focus shifts to living as well and independently as possible
- Families — including the “how do I even raise this with Dad?” conversation. (Start here if you think your parent may have dementia.)
Here’s the principle we work from: memory is like fitness — it responds to what you do with it, and problems caught early have far more options. Waiting rarely improves the choices available.
What Does a Memory Assessment Involve?
- A real conversation first. Your history, your concerns, what’s changed, what matters to you.
- Standardised cognitive assessment — validated tools that look at memory, attention, processing speed and executive function, not a tick-and-flick quiz.
- Function in real life — how memory changes are showing up in your actual days: medications, finances, driving, cooking, work. This is what a brain health check should measure — capability, not just scores.
- Plain-English feedback and a written plan — what we found, what it likely means, and precisely what to do about it. Where medical follow-up is warranted (GP, geriatrician, neurologist), we say so and help coordinate it.
After the Assessment: What "Doing Something" Looks Like
- Cognitive rehabilitation — structured retraining and compensation strategies with real-world tasks
- Memory aids and assistive technology — from simple routines to smart-home supports, matched to you rather than bought on hope
- Lifestyle levers with evidence behind them — sleep, activity, engagement (the same territory as our memory improvement strategies guide, made personal)
- Driving safety screening where memory changes raise questions about the road
- Family and carer coaching — so the people around you help in ways that actually help
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to a memory clinic in Brisbane?
No — you can book directly with us. Public hospital memory clinics typically need a GP referral and have long waits; we offer a self-referral pathway with prompt appointments.
How much does a memory assessment cost?
It depends on funding — private, NDIS, Support at Home or Medicare care-plan rebates via your GP. We quote clearly before booking.
Can you diagnose dementia?
Formal diagnosis is made by a medical specialist. Our assessment provides the detailed cognitive and functional evidence that supports (or eases) that process — and unlike a scan, it tells you what to do next, whatever the outcome.
What's the difference between normal ageing and something more?
Occasionally forgetting names is common with age. Changes that affect daily function — repeated questions, missed bills, getting lost on familiar routes — deserve assessment.
Is it worth being assessed if nothing can "cure" memory loss?
Yes — emphatically. Strategy, environment and early intervention substantially change how well people live with memory changes. The plan is the point.
Can family attend?
Please. Memory changes are a family experience, and plans work better when everyone hears the same thing.
One assessment. Real answers. A plan.
