This research addresses a major unmet need for an early, systematic approach to identify physical activity needs for people with living with mild dementia, and embed referral pathways and training opportunities for exercise leaders to support improved physical activity options.
In this project, we will co-design a new model of care, "Changing the Focus" with people with a lived…

This research project is an opportunity for people living with dementia to share perspectives about what meaningful communication is for them. Findings may assist in improving dementia care, leading to a better quality of life…
Hearing and vision loss is not well managed in residential aged care facilities. This is even more so in people who are living with dementia. Our study aims to understand the key hearing and vision priorities in aged care facilities to improve services.
This study has been approved by The University of Queensland Human Research Ethics Committee [Approval No. 2022/HE001477]
We are doing this study to see if the new medicine called semaglutide can help people with early Alzheimer’s disease. This will be done by comparing semaglutide against placebo on the effect on cognition and daily functioning.
This study has been approved the the St Vincent's NSW Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number 2021/ETH00728)

MK-1942 is a molecule that promotes the release of a chemical in the brain called glutamate. Glutamate release in the brain has been linked to improved cognition. This trial will investigate whether MK-1942 can improve cognitive when compared to placebo in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This study has been approved by the Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee (…
JNJ-63733657 is an laboratory-produced antibody which is designed to recognise and bind to a protein called "tau". Tau is a protein that builds up in the brain and may cause memory loss. This trial will determine if this antibody may prevent tau from spreading in the brain and slow memory loss/cognitive and functional decline.
This study has been approved by Belberry Human research…
Semaglutide (also known as Ozempic) is a medicine approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Australia.
In this study, the study doctors will investigate if semaglutide has a positive effect on memory function and the ability to carry out daily routines in people with early Alzheimer’s disease. This will be done by comparing semaglutide against placebo on the effect on cognition…
Structured occupational therapy dementia interventions can be positive for a person living with dementia and their family, yet little research has been done to look at delivery of these for diverse Australians.
