Anyone living with or without dementia, 18 years or older and residing in Australia can register.
Volunteers are needed
- from all ethnic backgrounds and cultures (being able to speak English is not a requirement: some studies may be able to engage interpreters);
- whether or not they are living with dementia; and
- whether or not they are concerned about their memory
We encourage people living with dementia, carers, families and friends of people with dementia to register on StepUp for Dementia Research because researchers need all kinds of people to participate in studies. Volunteers are needed for studies looking at things like early diagnosis, dementia prevention, and treatment and care – this includes people with dementia, carers, family and the wider public. Anybody can help advance vital dementia research through participation in studies.
Note: Some research studies are funded to support participation by providing a small token of appreciation or covering some of the costs of being involved, such as travel, but this varies depending on the study.
