This is the first of four articles running throughout each week of September to mark 2026 Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. Part 1 seeks to understand dementia; it's an umbrella term for 100+ conditions, not a single disease, and it's Australia's leading cause of death. There are approximately 446,500 Australians currently living with dementia.

This September, we're publishing a four-part series on dementia. Part 1 covers the basics: what dementia is, who it affects, and why the silence needs to end.

An hour of care is not an hour of wages.

A large new study of almost a million couples has found that spouses of people with dementia face a higher risk of developing it themselves. The researchers were clear that a higher risk is not the same as a certainty, and there are practical steps that help.

For carers, that means looking after your own health too: prioritising sleep, staying socially connected, managing cardiovascular health such as blood pressure, and accessing respite care regularly rather than waiting until burnout sets in.
