Abstract: 

Dementia Care Australia (DCA) is an independent information and education organisation specialising in supporting people with dementia and their carers; be they family members, professional carers, employers or friends. Our mission is to change society's attitude to dementia to one of hope. The essential philosophy underpinning all our beliefs and intentions is that the 'Spark of Life' can be rekindled in both people with dementia, and in the people who care for and support them. Our aim is to inform, educate, enlighten and inspire both carers, and all people living with dementia. Our approach is one that encourages effective communication, positive relationships, and improved social and emotional wellbeing for all. We call this the Spark of Life approach.
