Up to 40% of dementia can be prevented by addressing health and lifestyle factors that include increasing physical activity, and maintaining a healthy diet and social connectedness.

Unfortunately, this message is not reaching Australia’s CALD communities, where there is a limited awareness of dementia and dementia prevention. With federal government funding, NARI is working to address this gap by developing an animated video about dementia prevention in 9 languages.

The animated films will be freely available online. They will be available in:

• Arabic
• Cantonese
• Mandarin
• Hindi
• Tamil
• Greek
• Vietnamese
• Spanish
• Italian
