2026 Webinar Series

Why does dementia capability matter for the legal profession?

As the Australian population ages and more people are living with dementia, legal professionals have a pivotal role in advising clients on planning for the future in a way that promotes autonomy and safeguards rights.

Having the knowledge and skills needed to work effectively with clients living with, or at risk for, dementia, are important professional attributes – and an expanding area of specialist expertise.

Each webinar in this series features expert legal and health insights, alongside perspectives from people living with dementia or with experience supporting a person with dementia. You will gain a real-world understanding of the issues and take away practical strategies and resources to implement in your practice.

The webinar series is applicable to practitioners from all States & Territories.

Recordings of the webinars are not currently available.
