Qualified professionals with experience supporting people diagnosed with dementia under 65, including rarer or mixed presentations. We tailor supports to cognitive, behavioural, and sensory needs at different stages.
Every plan starts with your goals maintaining work or volunteering, parenting, staying active, or simplifying daily routines. We match supports to strengths, preferences, and home life.
We apply practical, research-informed strategies such as cognitive stimulation, environmental adaptations, positive behaviour support, and fatigue-aware scheduling.
Clear, achievable goals with regular reviews. We measure progress in what matters: easier mornings, safer mobility, less stress for carers, and greater confidence day to day.
Dedicated support workers trained in dementia-aware communication, step-by-step prompting, and gentle pacing. We help embed structure without taking over independence.
Practical strategies for memory and attention visual schedules, checklists, phone prompts, and simplified task sequences—to reduce frustration and support autonomy.
Support for self-care, meal planning, shopping, home organisation, medication prompts, and money management—always broken into manageable steps.
Person-centred strategies that respond to anxiety, changes in mood, or behavioural distress. We coach families in calming environments, sensory supports, and consistent routines.
Assistance to adjust duties, simplify tasks, and liaise with employers/educators; planning for transitions while maintaining purpose and identity.

Our specialists can help you access funding and build a plan that works for your life.
We provide person-centred, culturally sensitive supports across Melbourne’s south-east. Our team brings deep experience in YOD, working closely with families to maintain roles, routines, and relationships that matter most.
Our approach blends structured skill-building with flexible, compassionate care. We coordinate with health professionals, workplaces, and community groups so support stays practical, consistent, and meaningful.
YOD refers to dementia diagnosed before age 65. It can affect memory, planning, language, behaviour, and relationships at a busy stage of life.
Eligibility depends on functional impact and age at application. If you’re under 65 when you apply, you may meet criteria for NDIS disability support. We can help you understand requirements and gather evidence.
Funding may include daily living support, allied health (OT/physio/speech), assistive technology, behaviour support, community participation, transport, respite, and support coordination.
Yes. You have choice and control. We’ll help you transition smoothly if you decide to change providers.
Absolutely. With your consent, we collaborate with partners, children, and other carers to create consistent strategies that work at home and in the community.
We’re not a medical service, but we work alongside your GP and specialists. We can coordinate appointments, share practical strategies, and align supports with clinical guidance.
