Join us at the University of Canberra on the 20th of November 2026 for the Australian Young Onset Dementia Conference 2026, an exciting one-off event hosted by the Centre for Ageing Research and Translation (CARAT) and UC Research Institute for Sport and Exercise (UCRISE).
For one of the first times, we will be bringing together healthcare professionals, service providers and people with living experience of young onset dementia to bridge the evidence to practice gap and emphasise collaboration and translation for meaningful work for people with young onset dementia.
This one-day event will explore the latest developments in young onset dementia research, post-diagnostic support, and policy.
Through keynote presentations and panel discussions, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with world leading experts to discuss practical insights and progressive strategies, with the shared goal of improving the lives of people with young onset dementia and their families.
We are happy to share our research and are keen to work with others who have an interest in ageing – whether organisations, researchers or community members.
