A chain of memory clinics will be set up as part of a national dementia network designed to improve research and find cures for brain disorder.
Aged Care Minister Ken Wyatt says the federal government will provide $18 million to set up the Australian Dementia Network, with universities, businesses, philanthropists, and state governments chipping in another $20 million.
The memory clinics will help speed up assessment of people with brain disorders, improve access to specialist care, and help volunteers prepare to participate in clinical trials and other research programs.
