🎉 LAST DAY TODAY!!! The BIGGEST of THANK YOU's to everyone who has already voted and for your ongoing support. Today is the final chance to cast your vote if you haven't already done so and help make Dementia Doulas Australia a serious contender for the $20,000.

This is such a tough time in the charity space at the moment, so it's more important than ever to secure funds to ensure families impacted by dementia never have to go it alone. Your vote means we can continue our important work ensuring families impacted by dementia have access to a Dementia Doula throughout the trajectory.

Thank you so much for walking alongside us and the families we support!! Warmest wishes, Wendy 🍂

A FIRST FOR AUSTRALIAN AGED CARE

Clayton Church Homes embeds Dementia Doulas into its staffing model

We are incredibly excited to share a significant milestone for dementia care in South Australia. Six staff from Clayton Church Homes have completed our intensive four-day Dementia Doula training program, becoming the first staff in a residential aged care setting to bring the Dementia Doula role into their staffing model.

This is about more than completing a training program. It's about creating a different layer of support for people living with dementia, their families and the staff who care for them.

Dementia Doulas walk alongside families, build understanding and connection, support communication and help keep the person living with dementia at the heart of their journey.

We are so proud of these six pioneering Dementia Doulas and grateful to Clayton Church Homes for recognising the value of this role and helping us explore what the future of dementia care can look like.

This is just the beginning. 🍂

Thank you to the Victor Dementia Alliance and Victor Harbor Council for inviting us to be part of this wonderful FREE community event. An event designed to inspire conversations about living and ageing well.

Whether you are interested in healthy ageing, supporting someone living with dementia, working in the sector, or simply curious about how we can create better communities for all of us as we grow older, this event is for you.

Join us for a thought-provoking and uplifting gathering featuring:

A very special screening of Human Forever, the award-winning documentary challenging us to rethink how we support people living with dementia.

Inspiring presentations from us:
• Dr Stephanie Daly from Sensus Cognition
• Wendy Hall from Dementia Doulas Australia

The opportunity to meet local service providers and discover supports available in our community. We will also have a stand so come along and say hi!

An interactive panel discussion and Q&A where we can explore important questions together.

Plus refreshments and plenty of opportunity to connect with others.

This is more than an event about dementia. It is a conversation about how we want to live, age, belong and remain connected within our communities.

Everyone is welcome, and attendance is completely FREE.

We'd love you to join us, and bring along a friend, family member or neighbour who may also enjoy being part of the conversation.

As our Dementia Doula retreat 2026 draws to a close, it's time to reflect on all the wonderful things that have happened over the last week. All ensuring that as individuals we continue to grow in ways that better serve the families we support and our communities. How we show up for our own families and friends and most importantly for ourselves.

Each of us stepped into this week with very little time to spare, but intentionally gifted ourselves this time to take a breath and connect with what matters most to us.

Thank you to this beautiful group of individuals who will head back to their lives ready to shine brightly for those who need them most.

Will you be joining us for DDR 2027!!!!
