About AJDC

The Australian Journal of Dementia Care (AJDC) is a multidisciplinary journal for all professional staff working with people with dementia in residential aged care homes, hospitals, day units and the community.

The AJDC was established in 2012 and is Australia’s only dementia-specific journal for all those supporting people living with dementia. It is available via subscription and distributed throughout Australia and overseas.

The Australian Journal of Dementia Care is grounded firmly in practice and provides relevant, high-quality and well-researched articles with solutions for dementia care settings, written by practitioners, researchers and other experts in the field of dementia care from Australia and around the world.
