I, and also on behalf of Senators Fifield and Polley, move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) September is Dementia Awareness Month,

(ii) the theme for 2015 is 'Creating a Dementia Friendly Nation', and

(iii) over 342 800 people and their families are living with dementia; and

(b) urges the Federal , state, territory and local governments to show leadership in encouraging Australians to become dementia aware, to develop a better understanding of what it is like for a person to live with dementia, and to create communities where people with dementia are supported to live a high quality of life with meaning, purpose and value.

Question agreed to.
