Minister for Ageing, Justine Elliot, and New South Wales Minister for Ageing and Disability Services, Paul Lynch, have announced the construction of a new dementia day care centre worth more than $1.5 million in Belmont in Lake Macquarie.
The Australian ($900,000) and New South Wales ($600,000) Governments under the Home and Community Care (HACC) program are jointly funding the dementia day care centre.
This facility is the 14th of 16 purpose-designed dementia-specific day care centres to be built across New South Wales in response to the increasing incidence of dementia.
