Measure 1.3: Increase in availability and use of appropriately targeted and culturally-appropriate resources on dementia, including government resources, for First Nations, CALD, and other diverse communities
Some population groups are at a higher risk of developing dementia than others, because important risk factors are often present at higher levels and because these population groups often face more barriers to accessing appropriate health and other care (AIHW 2025). These priority populations include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (First Nations) people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, and other diverse communities.
There are no data currently available to track this measure of progress and data development is needed. For further information about data limitations for these priority groups see Better dementia data on high priority groups.
