Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain condition that gradually impairs memory, thinking, and everyday functioning over time. 

As the most common form of dementia, it is one of Australia’s most pressing health challenges. Recent statistics indicate that over 433,300 Australians currently live with dementia—and this number could nearly double by 2054 if effective interventions are not found.
