Advocacy
Dementia mate wareware is a health sector priority that can no longer be ignored.
Alzheimers NZ advocates for 70,000 people and their whānau living with dementia mate wareware in Aotearoa New Zealand so they are heard, valued and supported – this number is set to jump by 240 per cent in the next 30 years.
We need fair funding from Government for local services as many of them struggle to survive, and investment and implementation of the Dementia Mate Wareware Action Plan. These are some of the key steps to mitigate the worst impacts of this health condition.
Our work is underpinned by the Dementia Declaration which was developed by the Alzheimers NZ Lived Experience Advisory Group.
