Welcome to Alzheimer’s Australia’s Your Brain Matters website.

This website will show you the close links between what’s good for your physical health and what’s good for your brain. There are many things you can build into your everyday life to be brain healthy.

Over the next three years with funding from the Commonwealth Government Alzheimer’s Australia will be informing you of ways to look after your brain health. This is the first publically funded program of its kind in the world.

We’ll be adding many useful resources and activities to this website, so be sure to stay tuned.
