These fortnightly support group meetings are a way for carers, family members and friends of people with dementia to form friendships and to discuss common issues. The meetings run throughout the year and include guest speakers who are local health and dementia experts.

Our support groups also enjoy special events such as art days or pampering days, and outings to interesting and relaxing locations such as the Botanic Gardens or South Bank Parklands.
These groups are held at Alzheimer’s Australia (Qld)’s Woolloongabba centre on Thursdays each fortnight (lunch provided, groups run parallel with Leisure Program).

Leisure Program - Brisbane

People with early stage dementia are invited to attend this fortnightly program to participate in some of the activities and spend some quality time together.

Run by a professional diversional therapist, the classes can include: Self-expression through the mediums of clay, collage and painting; exercise to music; adapted board games and outings to interesting and relaxing locations such as the Botanic Gardens or South Bank Parklands.
These groups are held at Alzheimer’s Australia (Qld)’s Woolloongabba centre on Thursdays each fortnight (lunch provided, groups run parallel with carer support group).
