Dementia services

People with dementia, their carers and families can access dementia assessment, treatment, education and support through the Top End and Central Australian Memory Services.

Specialist dementia clinical nurse consultants and allied health professionals provide services across the Northern Territory (NT). They are supported by a geriatrician who is based in the Top End Memory Service, but visits other regions in the NT.

You can be seen by a clinical nurse or allied health team member in your home, or by attending a memory clinic location below.

Book an appointment

To see a clinical nurse or allied health team member, you must have a My Aged Care referral.
