Service and support needs of people with younger onset dementia

Objectives: Younger onset dementia (YOD) is any form of dementia that occurs in those <65 years. The Australian

government recently commissioned an international literature review and needs and feasibility assessment of services

for people with younger onset dementia. A consultation process involving people with younger onset dementia, carers,

service providers and policy makers was undertaken to ascertain potential models for more appropriate service delivery

and support.
