The Australian iSupport program

Most people living with dementia are cared for at home by their family members. This is especially common in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. To help address this gap, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed iSupport for Dementia. The Flinders University–led iSupport research group has worked closely with carers, community members, and service providers to adapt the WHO iSupport program for use in Australia. The Australian iSupport program has been showcased on the WHO iSupport website.

The Australian iSupport program is available in multiple languages and can be accessed in the following formats:

Translated iSupport virtual courses

Translations available: English, Greek, Indonesian Bahasa, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese

Translated iSupport hardcopy manuals

Translations available: English (PDF 8.5MB), Simplified Chinese (PDF 6.2MB), Traditional Chinese (PDF 6.3MB), Greek (PDF 7.5MB), Indonesian/Bahasa (PDF 12.8MB), Italian (PDF 7.5MB), Spanish (PDF 8.1MB), Vietnamese (PDF 6.5MB)

Translated iSupport audiobooks
