Our Commitment to being Dementia Friendly

The Bigger Hearts Dementia Alliance is an accredited dementia alliance through Dementia Australia, which works to improve the quality of life of people living with dementia, their family, friends and carers, in the greater Ballarat area.

We do this through community education, advocacy, and active contribution by members of the alliance.

How does the Bigger Hearts Dementia Alliance make the community stronger?

• Ensuring people living with dementia are part of the membership of the Bigger Hearts Dementia Alliance
• Creating dementia awareness
• Reducing the stigma of dementia and promoting dementia as a part of living
• Ensuring people impacted by dementia are not subject to discrimination with a focus on inclusion
• Encouraging participation for people living with dementia & their carers within the community
• Ensuring people living with dementia are engaged in co-designing projects with the Bigger Hearts Dementia Alliance
• Partnering with other local dementia services and community organisations to maximise positive outcomes for people impacted by dementia
