Updating clinical guidelines for dementia care

Overview

Monash University is updating the 2016 Clinical Practice Guidelines and Principles of Care for People with Dementia, to help improve the quality and consistency of dementia care. 

As part of this update, Monash University invited feedback from: 

• people living with dementia, their families and carers 
• people working in dementia practice, support and research 
• anyone interested in dementia. 

What's next 

The public consultation period on the draft update to the Guidelines closed on 6 July 2026.

Monash University will review the submissions received during the consultation period.

The feedback will help shape the final guidance so it reflects current evidence and real‑world experience in dementia care.
