I am sure all members will agree that dementia is an issue that is facing many, many more Australian families. Whether it is when a spouse is caring for another spouse or whether it is when children are caring for aged parents or other relatives, the reality is that dementia is on the increase. That is why I wanted to alert fellow members to the new dementia-friendly home app which is available through Alzheimer's Australia. This is a very real way in which people can experience what those suffering from dementia experience in their own homes, with suggestions about how they can change the layout of the home or even the colour scheme to help that person stay in their home for much longer. We would like people to stay in their homes. This is an important development and I commend it to all members of the House.
