Dementia affects close to half a million Australians. About 1.6 million Australians help care for those affected by it.
Dementia Action Week encourages all Australians to increase their understanding of Dementia.
A person with Dementia can give someone authority to deal with Centrelink on their behalf.
The different arrangements include a:
- payment or correspondence Nominee (or both)
- person permitted to enquire
- person permitted to update.
Choosing the right type of arrangement can make a big difference to the customer’s experience with us.
