Making a DifferenceVisionExcellence in dementia careMissionProviding services and advocacy that enhance thequality of life for people living with memory loss orrelated disordersBackgroundAlzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA was established in 1983to provide services and support for people withAlzheimer’s disease and other related dementias,their families and carers. It was then known as theAlzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Society(ADARDS). It became the Alzheimer’s Association(SA) Inc in 1992 and moved to its current facilitiesin Conyngham Street Glenside in 1996. In 2004 itchanged its name and logo to Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong>SA Inc as part of the national branding.Over the past 23 years Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA hasdeveloped as a centre of excellence, and today hasexpanded to provide a range of vital services, informationand support to people throughout metropolitan, rural andremote regions of South <strong>Australia</strong>.AcknowledgementsPhotographs:Lynton Crabblyndon Stacythe Advertiser NewspaperWe wish to acknowledge the substantial funding receivedfrom the <strong>Australia</strong>n Government and the South <strong>Australia</strong>nGovernment for programs and services.HOME ANDCOMMUNITY CAREContentsAlzheimer’s Background 2Message from the Patron 3Alzheimer’s Board 4The President’s <strong>Report</strong> 5Chief Executive’s <strong>Report</strong> 6Staff and Volunteers 7Client Services 8 – 9Access and Equity 9Marketing and Communications 10Education and Training / Policy and Advocacy 11Finance 12 – 13Bequests and Donations 14 – 152<strong>2005</strong> • <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


Making a DifferenceMessage from the PatronAlzheimer’s BoardIt is exciting to read the <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> andrealise the breadth and depth of achievement ofAlzheimer’s SA, its Board, staff and volunteers.Much progress has been made to prepare our societyfor the prospect that, in ten years, dementia will bethe most disabling of all chronic diseases in <strong>Australia</strong>.The Board and management have established newstaff positions to meet the expanding needs of thecommunity for services and the Association’s needfor resources, both human and financial. A competentand caring workforce is perhaps the most importantpriority if we are to meet future demand in dementiacare. The decision to register the Dementia Educationand Training Institute of <strong>Australia</strong> as a separate entityshould therefore have far-reaching benefits. It willenable DEaTIA to compete effectively for funds to trainand educate students in tertiary health-related courses.The mobile Dementia and Memory CommunityCentre, in the form of a van that provides support inrural and regional centres, is a big step forward. Sois the Mind Your Mind program which concentrateson preventative health for the brain. Be sure to readabout the seven-point action plan (on page 11) forimproving the quality of life for people with dementiaand their family carers. The seven points sum up ouraims perfectly and are the basis of sound policy.It is a pleasure to welcome our new Chief Executive,Kathryn Cunningham, and to wish her a successfuland happy future with Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA.On behalf of us all, I would also like to acknowledgethe great contribution that former Executive DirectorAlan Nankivell made in guiding and developingAlzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA to its present status as anoutstanding advocate for, and provider of, dementiaservices in South <strong>Australia</strong> and nationally.Jennifer Cashmore AMPatron3Back Row: Joy Mallett, Dawn Castree, Ron Sinclair,Bob Holland, Julie Chenery, Robyn Cavallaro, Barbara HayesSeated: Kathryn Cunningham, John McKellar, Joy KingAbsent: Brian Nankivell, Malcolm BondPatron: Hon Jennifer Cashmore AMBoard of DirectorsPresident: Professor John McKellar EDVice President: Mrs Barbara HayesTreasurer: Mr Brian NankivellSecretary: Mrs Dawn CastreeMembersDr Malcolm BondMrs Robyn CavallaroMs Julie CheneryMs Kathryn Cunningham (appt. 02/06)Mr Bob HollandMrs Joy KingMrs Joy MallettMr Alan Nankivell (ret. 02/06)Dr Ron SinclairChief Executive:Ms Kathryn Cunningham(appt.

Making a DifferenceThe President’s <strong>Report</strong>The year has seen a number of changes withinAlzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA. During the early partof the year the Association was consolidating astaff reorganisation designed to increase operationalefficiencies. While these changes were in progress,Alan Nankivell decided not to renew his contract whenit expired. So began the Board’s search for a new ChiefExecutive, and to assist in that process, it determined toemploy a consultant. Hender Consulting was chosen fromseveral prospective firms resulting in an offer to KathrynCunningham to assume the role of Chief Executive fromlate February <strong>2006</strong>. She quickly settled into the position,renewed alliances within other not-for-profit organisationsand began a process of developing new relationshipswhich will be of benefit to the Association in fulfilling itsservice and advocacy roles.While the Board has annually reviewed its strategicplan, it has been some time since a comprehensivereview has been conducted. With Kathryn’sappointment, an ideal opportunity has been presentedto do so. The latter part of this financial year hasbeen used to seek the views of a number of serviceproviders, volunteers, members of the Associationand staff to provide the background needed for theBoard to review its current position and develop a newstrategic plan. When this plan is completed in the newfinancial year it will map the opportunities and futuredirection for the organisation over the next few years.Towards the end of the year the Board registered theDementia Education and Training Institute of <strong>Australia</strong>(DEaTIA) as a separate entity. The reason behind thiswas the need to be able to compete more effectivelyin a well populated market place. Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong>SA Inc (AASA) has, over the years, developed someexcellent education programs, but in more recenttimes it has faced growing competition with many otherbodies seeking access to the available educationfunds. The <strong>Australia</strong>n Government has also starteda process requiring open tendering for programspreviously contracted directly to Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong>.‘‘During the early part ofthe year the Associationwas consolidating a staff‘‘reorganisation designed toincrease operational efficienciesBy separating DTIA from AASA, DTIA will be takingthe lead role in working with the three South <strong>Australia</strong>nuniversities and the Charles Darwin University in thedevelopment of dementia education packages fortertiary health-related courses.Late in <strong>2005</strong> the Association received notice that the<strong>Australia</strong>n Government was prepared to provide fundsto purchase a mobile unit, the Memory Van, as partof its program of establishing Dementia and MemoryCommunity Centres. The van was delivered early in<strong>2006</strong> and has been fitted out as a mobile resource tobetter provide information and support to those in ruraland regional centres living with dementia, their carers,family and friends.The Board has continued to work on the need for asuitable tracking device, and while some progress hasbeen made, a product is not yet available. The Boardhas also continued to review the need for MemoryScreening Clinics to assist in the early identification ofdementia. AASA had some discussions with politiciansleading up to the last State election, and while theOpposition adopted Memory Screening Clinics as partof its platform, the Government did not. It is understoodthat the South <strong>Australia</strong>n Government is reviewing theneed for this type of facility, however, an opportunityhas been identified for such a facility to be establishedand the Board is expected to make a determination onthis matter early in the <strong>2006</strong>-2007 year.A result of the reorganisation of the Association in<strong>2005</strong> was the formation of teams more in keepingwith a regional approach to services, linking Northernwith Western areas, and Southern with Eastern. Theoutcome of this structure was to decentralise locationsaway from Conyngham Street and closer and morereadily accessible to the communities they serve. Thishas yet to happen, but as we continue to grow andtake on new staff to fulfil contractual commitments, it isbecoming a critical issue.In summary, the year has been one of more than usualchange, one of necessary change as a further step inthe process of building on a firm foundation to meet agrowing demand for support and services.Professor John McKellar EDBoard President5<strong>2005</strong> • <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


Making a DifferenceChief Executive’s <strong>Report</strong>Future requirements in the service areas have beenreviewed, and the need to create new positions toassist the organisation to meet the growing demandsin the community has been identified.To make sure Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA adapts readilyto continued growth, a Manager of Human Resourceswill be appointed.Provision has also been made to appoint a TeamLeader for the Corporate Services Department, aMarketing and Events Co-ordinator and a Policy Officeras additional support in these departments. We lookforward to welcoming an Indigenous Project Officer tothe Access and Equity area.After many years of building an organisationto meet the needs of consumers, Alzheimer’s<strong>Australia</strong> SA has reached a crucial stage whenit must ensure it continues to expand and developservices to meet the needs of the estimated 500,000people who will be impacted by dementia by the year2041. Dementia is a devastating condition, and by theyear 2016 dementia will be the most disabling of allchronic disease.This year has not only seen 200,000 peoplediagnosed with dementia and 52,000 peopleidentified in the early stage of memory loss, butdementia has also impacted on nearly one million<strong>Australia</strong>n carers. By 2041 this figure will rise to morethan three million. With the current direct and indirectcost of dementia care more than $6.6 billion perannum, it is no wonder that the Federal Governmenthas announced that dementia is a health priority.There is No time to lose to ensure dementia researchis given priority until positive solutions in the areas ofprevention, treatment, care and cure are found.To ensure we keep abreast of current environmentalneeds and trends, we have undertaken an extensivevisionary process that included extensive researchand consultation with staff, volunteers and externalstakeholders such as councils, community partners,aged care facilities, regional areas, culturally andlinguistically diverse and Aboriginal and Torres StraitIslander communities. The visionary process hasbeen an important step in assisting us to develop ourStrategy 2009.Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA has endeavoured to seek abalance between the importance of all core activitieswhile ensuring that opportunities for future growth areseized to meet the emerging areas of need. Staff andvolunteers continued to be the critical element in theprovision of services by AASA.A full time Co-ordinator of Volunteer Services hasbeen appointed to assist the organisation to tap intoskilled volunteers who wish to contribute their timeand expertise to Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA.Funding remains a high priority and Alzheimer’s<strong>Australia</strong> SA continues to strive to significantlyincrease the number of submissions to both State andFederal governments.The next twelve months will bring about necessarychange to position the organisation for the future. Withthis change will come many exciting opportunities.With all opportunities come challenges. With the cooperationand assistance of both staff and volunteers,I look forward to leading the organisation through thistime of growth and having the opportunity to turn ournew vision into a reality.Thank you to staff and volunteers for their valuablecontribution to the organisation during the pasttwelve months.Kathryn CunninghamChief Executive‘‘To ensure we keep abreast ofcurrent environmental needsand trends, we have undertaken‘‘an extensive visionary process6<strong>2005</strong> • <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


Making a DifferenceClient ServicesThrough the restructuring of the client servicesarea in <strong>2005</strong>, the group of programs designedto provide counselling and one-to-one adviceand support were brought together with a regionalfocus on the northern area. This group of programscomprises the Dementia Helpline, CounsellingService, the Dementia Link Worker, the NationalDementia Behaviour Advisory Service and theBehaviour Advisory Service for Aged Care. As theseservices are often the first contact for members of thecommunity, they are relied upon for information andsupport in navigating the care pathways.The introduction of the new Dementia Helplinetelephone number, 1800 100 500, has ensured furtherpublicity and an easy to remember number as a firstpoint of contact for callers about dementia. Counsellorsand Behaviour Consultants are assisted by VolunteerInformation Officers to take calls from a broad range ofpeople in the community, responding to the need forinformation about dementia and the various impacts onfamilies. During the year the range of vital helpsheetswas revised and up-dated. This much awaited andwelcome resource has provided excellent informationfor callers. The Helpline offers immediate telephonesupport for callers as well as referral to the range ofservices provided by AASA and other communityagencies. Over 12 months there were more than 3000calls to the Helpline in SA.The Counselling Team have consolidated their role andare offering increased outreach to outer metropolitanareas and home visits for people unable to visit theoffice. Over 300 counselling appointments wereprovided during the year, mainly by home visits.The counsellors provide a personalised informationservice and support to resolve problems and barriersto services. Many families have welcomed theprovision of family meetings with a counsellor to shareinformation about dementia and to resolve differencesabout how to care for a family member. Help withfinding services and coping with the grief experiencedby families when a diagnosis of dementia is made arethe most common issues addressed by counsellors.Many families also seek assistance with legal matters,dealing with complex Guardianship issues wherethere are no Enduring Powers in place or wherecircumstances have changed.The Dementia Link Worker is based in the Northernsuburbs, providing support to families at the earlystage of memory loss, assisting people to obtainaccurate diagnosis and treatment, and assisting inaccessing the necessary services to help familiesto cope with the impact of dementia. A major focusthis year has been to target GPs again, to encourage8<strong>2005</strong> • <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>them to refer people with early stage memory loss, sothat early treatment and planning of support servicescan be put in place. Ongoing networking with therange of support services and health providers is ahigh priority to promote referrals of people affectedby memory loss. The Link Worker is based at theGrenville Centre at Elizabeth to ensure easy accessand to link in with local service providers.The National Dementia Behaviour Advisory Serviceis an <strong>Australia</strong>-wide telephone advisory servicebased at AASA for carers and respite workers whoseek assistance in understanding and coping withchanged behaviours as a result of dementia. This24 hour / 7days a week service is a proven, expertservice to reduce behaviours of concern and to assistcarers to respond to behaviours appropriately. Over2000 calls were made to the NDBAS telephone line ina year, with a quarter of them made after hours or onweekends when other services are not available. Mostcalls come from family carers and respite servicesseeking advice on a range of behaviour concerns.There is a high success rate in reducing behavioursof concern and providing practical strategies tosupport carers in planning activities and respite.The Behaviour Advisory Service (Aged Care) providesbehaviour advice to staff of residential care facilities,community care packages and respite services.Over 300 cases were assisted during the year, withconsiderable focus given to providing meaningfulactivities for men with dementia, negotiating appropriateplacement of younger people with dementia, and indeveloping the capacity of staff to integrate people’s lifehistory into daily activities. Specialist service providersare brokered in to assist staff in developing careplans and enhancing their dementia care skills. Thedevelopment of sheds suitable for men with dementia,advice about modifying environments and gardensfor people with dementia and the outreach program tofacilities in the Mid North and Eyre Peninsula have beenreal highlights this year.Lenore de la PerrelleManager Client Services – NorthKeith Bettany (left) attended a Men’s Shed Conference in Victoria


Making a DifferenceClient ServicesAlzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA has continued itscommitment to meet the information and supportneeds of people with dementia and their familycarers through the provision of• Living with Memory Loss programs andsupport groups• Carer Education courses• specific courses for people who are contemplatingthe move into residential care and for those whohave moved into residential care and are having tomake adjustments to cope with their new situation• ongoing support groups spread throughout themetropolitan and rural areas• the Small Miracles group, which provides anopportunity to consider the positive side of life• information sessions on Dementia Awareness,Memory Changes and Ageing, and Mind yourMind for clients and the general public.In addition, there have been some significantinnovations in the area of early intervention.The Mind Your Mind program aims to raise awarenessof the importance of good physical, mental andemotional health in assisting to maintain a healthybrain. Displays featuring baskets of colourful, highantioxidant foods have provided an attractive andnon-threatening way for people to approach workers,ask for more information and begin to develop aconnection with us.Timely funding from beyondblue has allowed us todevelop a club activity for people in the early stagesof dementia. This self governing group focusses onsome of the messages from Mind your Mind, namely,keeping as active as possible and keeping up/developing social networks. Another group of peoplewith early stage dementia learned the art of digitalphotography and produced a beautiful calendar atChristmas time.The Library area has been expanded and refurbishedwith funding provided by the CommonwealthDepartment of Health and Ageing for thedevelopment of Dementia and Memory CommunityCentres. It is now more aptly called The ResourceCentre. As well as an extensive range of books,videos, CDs, DVDs and activity aids, a computer isfreely available to allow clients to access informationon the internet.Christine BelfordManager Client Services – SouthCambodian Respite GroupAccess and EquityThe Multicultural and Aboriginal Liaison Officer positionshave been consolidated within Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA,Access and Equity Unit.They have continued to forge strong relationships withtheir respective communities and develop partnershipprograms. Raising awareness of dementia amongstboth the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander andethnic communities remains a priority for Alzheimer’s<strong>Australia</strong> SA. A greater understanding of the diseaseand associated issues will lead to communitiesseeking culturally and linguistically appropriateservices and programs, an issue not only forAlzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA to deal with, but also thewider mainstream and ethnic services.Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA continues to up-skillcommunity workers in the area of dementia so as tobe knowledgeably responsive within their own ethniccommunities. Some of the groups targeted during theyear have been the Italian Benevolent Foundation,Dutch Aged Care, Multicultural Communities Council,Aboriginal Elders, Domiciliary Care, Aboriginal HaCCTeam, Aboriginal Health Team (Murray Bridge),Greek Orthodox Community of South <strong>Australia</strong>, GreekOrthodox Archdiocese of South <strong>Australia</strong>, Tumpenyeri(Murray Bridge), Croatian Welfare Services, VietnameseCommunity of SA, Ukrainian community, Latvian AgedServices and the Cambodian Association to name but afew. These communities/workers and others continue tobe the champions of Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA.Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA, along with its partnerorganisation, Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council SAInc, were successful in obtaining a national AlcoholEducation Rehabilitation grant for working with theAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in South<strong>Australia</strong>. This is a community development project thatwill build upon the State and National work in this sectorthat has been undertaken over the past twelve years.The Access and Equity Unit continues to offer supportnot only outside of the organisation but also within, toensure that all services and programs meet the needs ofa culturally and linguistically diverse society.Helena KyriazopoulosMulticultural Liaison Officer9<strong>2005</strong> • <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


Making a DifferenceMarketing and CommunicationsRaised awareness of Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SAand its services through increased advertisingin metropolitan and country papers and avariety of other publications, resulted in more peopleattending information sessions, carer education andother courses and seminars throughout the year.Feature stories and editorials have also appearedregularly in these publications and we wish to thankthe media for recognising the need to promoteDementia as a National Health Priority.Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA is most grateful to itsmembers and the wider community who have againresponded generously to the June and ChristmasAppeals and other fundraising projects. Therehas also been ongoing support from the businesssector, trusts and foundations. A special thank youis extended to BankSA Staff Charitable Fund for itscontinuing financial assistance.The highlight of the year was organising the visit toAlzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA by Her Majesty, Queen Silviaof Sweden, in November. Queen Silvia observedgroup sessions for people with dementia and carers,officially opened the Rosemary Garden and met withstudents from successful schools competing for theWilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge Scholarship.Claudine ButterworthManager Marketing and CommunicationsAlzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA has received severalconsiderable bequests. Like all bequests, these willbe invested through the Rosemary Foundation withthe income, generated from the capital, used to fundresearch and special Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA programs.Queen Silvia of Sweden opening The Rosemary GardenBequests are extremely important to the Associationas these gifts help the organisation in perpetuity.There has been steady growth in the number ofspeaking engagements to service clubs, communitygroups and schools this year. The school visitscomplement the Wilfrid Gordon McDonald PartridgeScholarship, which encourages students in South<strong>Australia</strong>n schools to be involved in a project toraise awareness of dementia and to overcome theintergenerational gap between young and olderpeople. Her Excellency, Marjorie Jackson Nelson AC,CVO, MBE, Governor of South <strong>Australia</strong>, once againhosted a reception at Government House in Octoberto present the prizes to the winning schools for <strong>2005</strong>.For some time, the Association has dreamed ofacquiring a mobile unit to take information, resourcesand services to people with dementia and their familycarers in all areas, particularly rural and remoteregions. This year the Memory Van became a reality.Having the van ‘wrapped’ in graphics to promote andraise awareness of Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA and itsservices was another exciting challenge.Wrapping the Memory Van, changes to the design ofthe Association stationery and the new Alzheimer’s<strong>Australia</strong> SA brochure are part of a new corporateimage being created to promote Alzheimer’ <strong>Australia</strong>SA in the community.The Governor’s Reception for the Wilfrid Gordon McDonald‘‘Partridge ScholarshipAlzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong> SA hasreceived several considerablebequests . . . these gifts helpthe organisation in perpetuity10‘‘<strong>2005</strong> • <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


Making a DifferenceEducation and Training / Policy and AdvocacyDTIADementia Training Institute of <strong>Australia</strong>DTIA has experienced a busy and exciting yearpresenting the Dementia Care Competency,Person Centred Approach workshops andmultiple other seminars and workshops, tailoredto meet the identified learning needs of workers,facilities and community service providers, to morethan 1000 workers throughout the State.Major highlights of the year have included:• <strong>Australia</strong>’s inaugural Person Centred CareSymposium, “Creating a new culture in residentialcare”, held in October. The Symposium providedthe opportunity for more than 100 leaders fromthroughout the country to gain insight on the personcentred approach to dementia care from theinternationally renowned keynote speaker ProfessorBob Woods and several <strong>Australia</strong>n speakers• development and pilot delivery of an educationprogram for staff working in the hospital sector.The program, run in collaboration with theQueen Elizabeth Hospital, was attended by 10participants from several discipline areas. Withoutexception participants identified that they gained abetter understanding of the experiences of peoplewith dementia and their carers. A further outcomeof the program has been the implementation ofnew dementia-friendly initiatives by participants• achieving success in our application for <strong>Australia</strong>nGovernment funding to establish a DementiaTraining Study Centre. The centre will operate inpartnership with universities, service providersand stakeholders. Its purpose is to providetertiary education and training services for healthprofessionals.Maggie CecchinManager DTIAPolicy and AdvocacyConsumer FocusThe rights of people with dementia and theirfamilies to self-advocate, underpin Alzheimer’s<strong>Australia</strong>. In South <strong>Australia</strong> we have two coreadvocacy groups which meet on a monthly basis:the People with Dementia Advisory Group and theCarer Advisory and Advocacy Committee. This yearthey have worked extremely hard to help ensure thatthe needs of people with dementia and their carersare understood. A wide range of issues have beencovered at meetings, including the National DementiaFramework, the National Consumer Summit, State11<strong>2005</strong> • <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>Election, EACH and CACP packages, diagnostictools, residential care information, transport subsidiesand younger people with dementia.Committee members took an active role in theconsultations on the National Dementia Frameworkwhich were conducted jointly by the Office for theAgeing, SA Department of Health and Alzheimer’s<strong>Australia</strong> SA Inc.Amongst the key themes at these consultations were:• increased early identification/intervention• simplified navigation of the system• increased education and training• inclusive language and attention to specialneeds groups• increased respite choices.In October <strong>2005</strong>, South <strong>Australia</strong> was representedby five carers and three people with dementia fromour two Advocacy Committees at the first NationalConsumer Summit on Dementia. Alzheimer’s <strong>Australia</strong>SA (AASA) delegates ensured that South <strong>Australia</strong>nswere well represented, with two AASA delegatesforming part of the eight member drafting committeewhich finalised the Summit Communiqué. This sevenpoint action plan for improving the quality of life forpeople with dementia and their family carers had theunanimous support of all participants. It has beenpresented to all relevant Federal and State Ministersto ask for their assistance in implementation. Theseven key points are to:• improve the assessment and diagnosis of dementia• improve the responsiveness of acute care so itbetter meets the needs of people with dementia• ensure easy access to quality community care services• provide more flexible responses to supportedaccommodation in the home and in residentialcare facilities• increase the recognition and understanding of thefinancial cost and legal implications of dementia• promote and ensure greater public understandingabout dementia and risk reduction• increase investment in dementia research.Kristin JohanssonPolicy CoordinatorRon Sinclair presenting the Summit Communique in Canberra


Making a DifferenceFinanceTreasurer’s <strong>Report</strong>It is my pleasure to present the accounts for <strong>2006</strong>on behalf of the Board and Management, sincethey demonstrate a strong financial position thatonce again exceeds expectations.AASA is confronting a number of challenges, bothinternally and externally, some of which have afinancial impact now and into the future. The mostsignificant is competition, in that many services andprograms that we might have presumed to have beenour sole domain during the 1990s are now activelybeing sought by a variety of other groups, and arealso under increased scrutiny from fund providers(especially Government).We had forecast at last year’s AGM a probableshortfall in Government funding, and the possibilityof drawing upon donated funds to sustain our rangeof programs. In the end, the Association managedits affairs within funding levels. This was largely dueto prudent management of expenditure in a yearthat pressure was exerted by staff changes andoperational reviews.Our modest profit for the year has made the BalanceSheet even stronger. The Rosemary Foundation as ashelter and manager of financial reserves has provedto be very comforting, since their Balance Sheet hasalso grown significantly. Our financial security nowdictates that we focus on excellent service delivery inthe present, and clear strategic direction for the future– the foundation for controlled growth is solid!I commend the accounts to Association members,and congratulate Management for its prudent andresponsible handling of financial affairs. This is myfinal report as Treasurer, and I would like to extend mypersonal thanks to everyone at AASA for their supportand friendship, as well as for their personal contributionto this worthy cause over the past seven years.Brian Nankivell CFPTreasurerAttendees at a Mind Your Mind sessionThe new Dementia and Memory Community CentreMem Fox presenting a gift of <strong>Australia</strong>n children’s books toQueen SilviaPhotographic group for men with younger onset dementia12<strong>2005</strong> • <strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>
