Would you like to support people living with FTD and their families?

The Australian Frontotemporal Dementia Association is comprised of board members with lived experience of FTD, along with health professionals experienced with FTD. We are here to help.

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a rare form of dementia, accounting for around 10% of dementia diagnoses. It often occurs between 45 and 65 years of age, but can be seen in older and younger people. It can be difficult to diagnose, with accurate diagnosis often taking several years. FTD presents differently in the early stages to many other types of dementia, often appearing as personality, behaviour or language changes rather than changes in memory.
