National Dementia Action Plan indicators dashboard

Where do we want to be in 10 years?

All levels of Australian society protect and promote equity and the human rights of people living with dementia and their carers so they can feel safe and empowered to live independently with respect, equity and dignity, free from abuse. Everyone living with dementia has equitable access to quality dementia care and supports that meet their needs and preferences.

Outcome statement for people living with dementia

My rights are upheld. I have a sense of autonomy, meaning and identity, and live a life free from inequality and abuse. I can access the information, supports and services that meet my needs and preferences. I can access culturally safe and holistic care.

How will we know if the National Dementia Action Plan has made a difference?

This web report presents specific metrics, called indicators, to track change over time, under each of the measures of progress (see Table 1). Measures of progress are part of the Action Plan and are broad statements on how governments will assess if the Action Plan is meeting its objectives.

Baseline values below represent the situation at the start of the Action Plan. In future years, data will be updated to assess if indicators are improving over time. More information about each indicator is presented in the next pages.

Notes on data availability and completeness:

1. Some data available, further development needed.
2. Some data available, development underway.
