Older adults with dementia are a high-risk group for falls, with people living with dementia experiencing over twice the risk of falling than those without dementia. Cognitive ability is vital in aiding alertness, planning movements, and responding to falls hazards inside and outside of the home environment.

Enabling EDIE (Educational Dementia Immersive Experience) is an immersive workshop that enables participants to see the world through the eyes of a person living with Dementia. Using Dementia Australia’s virtual reality technology, this workshop enhances your knowledge of dementia while exploring strategies to support a person with dementia to live more confidently.
