It is estimated that half a million Australians live with dementia, and almost 1.6 million people are involved in their care.  

In our episode Brain Health which airs on 4 October, leading in to World Mental Health Week, we speak with Prof Pankaj Sah of the Queensland Brain Institute. He outlines massive global research efforts that may one day lead to better outcomes for dementia-sufferers. In that same episode, we welcome rugby league legend, former Penrith and Kangaroo hooker, Royce Simmons. He discusses his own experiences with dementia and his selfless campaign to help others through Royce’ Big Walk.
