The latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) highlights the urgent reality of dementia in Australia, revealing dementia is set to become the nation’s leading cause of death.
In 2023, dementia accounted for 9.1 per cent of all deaths, closely following ischaemic heart disease at 9.2 per cent. Dementia remains the leading cause of death for Australian women, representing 12.2 per cent of all female deaths and 6.4 per cent of male deaths.
The figures also show that dementia is now the leading cause of death in South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, and, for the first time, New South Wales.
