Dementia care is more important than ever
More than 250 people are diagnosed with dementia every day in Australia, and that number is expected to grow significantly in the years ahead.
While there is currently no cure, the right support can make a meaningful difference to daily life for people living with dementia and those around them.
With donations from our generous community, BlueCare can continue going above and beyond the basics with specialist care, programs and resources that help people feel safe, connected and valued.
Here are some of the things your donation can do
Meaningful connection
Memory boxes, life story kits and activities that help people reconnect with cherished memories.
Comfort and wellbeing
Weighted therapy aids and specialised resources that can reduce distress and provide reassurance.
Innovative technology
Technology such as the Tovertafel, which encourages social connection, movement and engagement through interactive play.
Specialist training
Training that equips frontline teams with advanced dementia care skills and approaches to support each person to live life their way.

FAQs
Where does my donation go?
Your donation to BlueCare's Giving Day will be used to support dementia support and care across Queensland.
Your gift could fund therapeutic tools and spaces, innovative technology and programs, and specialised dementia education and training for BlueCare teams that go beyond what service fees provide.
If there is another specific area or service close to your heart that you'd like to donate to, please give our Fundraising team a call on 1800 001 953.
What is matched giving? How does my donation make double the difference?
Donations are being matched by generous donors and partners of BlueCare until the end of Giving Day, or until the funds they've dedicated are exhausted, whichever is sooner.
This means that if a partner has chosen to match up to $50,000 on Giving Day, donations made by people like you will be matched dollar for dollar until the $50,000 has been exhausted, or Giving Day has ended.
So, if for example, you make a gift of $100 on Giving Day and matching is available, BlueCare will receive an additional $100, doubling your support (totalling $200).
Will my donation or fundraising be matched if I give before Giving Day?
Thank you for your incredible generosity and commitment to making a difference!
To have your donation doubled by our generous matching partners, please give or add the funds you've raised to your page between 8:00am and 8:00pm (AEST) on Giving Day – 24 September 2026. Matching is only available during this 12-hour window and will continue until all matching funds are exhausted.
Donations made before this timeframe – including those raised by individuals or teams – are not eligible for matching. This helps us focus the limited matching funds from generous partners on encouraging everyone to come together on the same day to make the biggest impact possible.
To double your impact, we strongly encourage you to donate and fundraise on Giving Day while matching funds are available to take your support even further!
Thanks to our generous Giving Day partners
