Marita Chisholm attended the ‘Alzheimer’s Australia 15^th National Conference’ in Hobart, Tasmania.

The conference theme was ‘The tiles of life – colouring the future’ and included sub themes of liberation, rehabilitation, leisure, service, creativity, research and wellbeing.

The conference brought together researchers, service providers, carers and most importantly people with dementia to discuss ways of moving forward, and how to support people living with dementia and their carers.

Marita’s PhD explores ‘access to dementia care and support services for rural Victorians’ and she found the conference particularly valuable for her ongoing research.
