The forum was asked to provide advice to the government specifically on three things. Firstly, strategies to improve and promote the wider adoption of better practice care of people with dementia and behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia who are receiving aged-care services; secondly, the effective models of care for people with behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia and people with dementia within aged-care services; and thirdly, the timely and cost-effective specialised support for care of dementia clients with complex needs or severe behavioural and psychological symptoms. Advice will cover care provided both in residential settings or at home and within the current funding envelope.
