About the study

Victoria University is looking for people over 18 years of age and living in Australia, who are currently providing care for a family member or friend with dementia.

The aim of this study is to better understand the experience of carers of people living with dementia.

They want to know more about:

• The impact of caring on your life and your mood
• Your knowledge and beliefs about dementia
• Your experience of dementia-related stigma
• Your response to changed behaviours
• Positive aspects of caring.

You will be asked to complete a confidential online survey. The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
