The Gold Coast Memory Walk & Jog is set for 7th June 2026, with more than 780 participants already registered. This event supports Dementia Australia by raising much-needed funds and awareness for dementia care and research.
Dementia Australia CEO, Professor Tanya Buchanan, expressed excitement over the community’s active participation. She highlighted the importance of such events, which aid the 446,500 Australians living with dementia and the 1.7 million family members, friends, and carers who support them daily.

It is inspiring to see the Gold Coast community come together to support the 446,500 Australians living with dementia, and 1.7 million family members, friends and carers who support them every day,” Professor Buchanan said.
