Testimonials

When I started with The Dementia Foundation, I had little prior understanding of dementia. Thanks to the team in the organisation, I have gained a fuller view of challenges faced by Australians across the country and how dementia can negatively impact them and their families. I have gained valuable exposure and experience across a wide range of functions in the industry and have contributed to the commencement of numerous projects such as student placement, academic partnerships, national awareness and training. The impact we have had and what we have accomplished, with so little, is nothing short of astonishing. I am proud to be here.

– Andre Aquino
