Specialist Dementia Care Program: Applications now open

The opportunity for a provider to operate the Specialist Dementia Care Program has now been offered in Healthy North Coast’s (North Coast PHN) region. The grant application process is now open and can be accessed via GrantConnect (GO5304).

For more information about the program, how to apply and other key resources are linked below.

• Information on dementia design: enablingenvironments.com.au and dementia.org.au
• Dementia Training Australia

For those providers who are part of larger organisations, please share this opportunity with any corporate or organisational teams that may be interested in supporting a North Coast based Specialist Dementia Support Unit.

This is an exciting development for our region, where needs for dementia support are ever increasing and we do hope some of the aged care providers across the Healthy North Coast footprint will apply.
