AUSTRALIA

Overview

Australia has a population of over 23.1 million, of which close to 4.6 million or 20% of the population aged 60 and above as of 2013. GDP per capita is US$67,458. Life expectancy at birth is 83 years and healthy life expectancy is 74 years, leaving a gap of about 9 years, which some form of care is needed either in the form of assisted living or nursing care. By 2030, 25% of the population or close to 6.8 million will be aged over 60 and by 2050, 28% of the population or over 9 million will be aged over 60. According to the OECD, Australians are living longer because the country has one of the best universal health care systems in the world.1 The baby boomers hold more than 40% of Australias new wealth, an average household net worth is in excess of A$1 million and delayed retirement means their earning capacity is higher than ever. 2

The Australian economy is the worlds 13th largest and is entering its 24th year or uninterrupted annual growth.3 The economic resilience and potential provides a safe environment in which to conduct business. Australia has a high corporate tax rate of 30%.4 The Australian government spends more than A$14 billion

receive support at home. By 2050, an estimated 3.5 million Australians would require some form of aged care. This means that fundamental changes are required to ensure that Australias aged care system remain sustainable, affordable, and above all, is able to offer choices that older Australians have the option to select. 5

In total, there are estimated to be about 328,000 people with dementia in Australia in 2015. The number is set to rise to 520,000 in 2030 and 864,000 by 2050. The estimated cost of dementia in 2015 is estimated to be USD$12.8 billion. An estimated 112,000 (53%) people in residential aged care facilities have dementia.6 Each week, 1,700 Australians are diagnosed with dementia, which equates to one person every six minutes, implicating dementia as the single greatest cause of disability in older Australians.7

There is no cure for Alzheimer's, but it can be actively decelerated Learning therapy is a cognitive intervention for patients with dementia to train their working memory through reading aloud and arithmetic. Studies have shown that it helps older adults maintain and enhance the functions of their frontal cortex. 4000 different materials for this programme has been developed by Dr Kawashima and his research team. Before the start of the intervention, programmes are individualised and customised to suit the patients cognitive needs to enable them the best opportunity of engaging and performing the task without too much of a difficulty. So far, the programme have been implemented in various nursing homes and even by the local government in Japan.

Keeping it short, simple and person centric (1)Activities have to be extremely simple for a

person with dementia to perform because they are keyed to that individuals current capability.

(2)Activities has to be familiar, for example

reading, calculation and writing. Actions like using paper, pen and pencil is part of everyday life.

(3)Activities has to be individualised and person-centred

Positive effects of high social interaction

Increase in care staff morale reduces high turnover Research studies has shown that an additional outcome of Learning Therapy is that it promotes greater positive engagement of nursing home staff in the residents individual progress and care needs. A positive social interaction with caregivers is also likely to influence the improvement of mood for both care staff and persons with dementia. This will will also result in better quality of care and reduce turnover.

Establishing learning therapy is a cognitive intervention despite cultural settings In September 2011, Dr Kawashima conducted a similar study in US patients because he wanted to investigate whether learning therapy would work equal ly wel l in a different cultural sett ing. Approximately 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia were included in each of the intervention and control groups. The mean age of these patients was 65 to 70 years in contrast to 80 years in the previous Japanese study. Studies in the US have indicated that their findings closely resembled those seen in the previous Japanese trial.

Taking learning therapy to Australia, New Zealand and beyond

In both cases we found exactly the same results. Dr Kawashima
