Have your say – dementia services survey

Published 22nd October 2018

The department has contracted the Rosemary Bryant AO Research Centre at the University of South Australia to evaluate the Dementia Behaviour Management Advisory Services (DBMAS) and Dementia Training Program (DTP).

The survey focuses on how effectively DBMAS and DTP are meeting the needs of individuals who care for people living with dementia and the needs of the person(s) they care for. We would like to know what is working well, and areas that could be improved.

Invitation to participate

We would like to hear from nurses, allied health professionals, personal care workers and managers in aged care who:

• work with people living with dementia in residential aged care or in the community
• have had any exposure to either DBMAS or DTP.

The views of individuals caring for people living with dementia are vital to the evaluation process, regardless of whether they currently use these two services.

How to participate

The online survey takes approximately 20-25 minutes to complete and closes on 30 November 2018.

Participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous. Participants can withdraw at any time.

The survey can be accessed at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RRW6PBD

Participants are encouraged to share the link with their networks.

If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, please contact Ms Kate Kennedy, Project Manager, on (08) 8302 1536 or email .
