Australia’s top brain health expert urges nationwide prevention program to combat dementia.
Professor Henry Brodaty, named Senior Australian of the Year for 2026, is urging the nation to adopt a national brain health program, comparing preventive actions to the "slip slop slap" sun safety campaign.
Motivated by his father’s early death from Alzheimer’s, Brodaty has spent decades advancing dementia research, establishing Australia’s first memory clinic in 1985, developing widely used screening tools, and training over 5,000 general practitioners.
He emphasizes that lifestyle changes like healthy diet and regular exercise can significantly reduce dementia risk, especially when started early.
With over 430,000 Australians affected and dementia costing more than $18 billion annually—nearly half due to modifiable factors—Brodaty advocates for widespread, lifelong prevention strategies to protect brain health.
