Ita Butrose AO, OBE is 2013 Australian of the Year I am delighted that Alzheimer’s Australia has been chosen as the charity partner for the India Australia Business and Community Awards.

As National President of Alzheimer’s Australia from 2011 to 2014, and in my ongoing role as an Ambassador, I have seen first-hand the important work our organization does to support Australians with dementia and also their families and carers. Having the opportunity to be involved in events like the Awards gives us the opportunity to share with more people the constant and growing issues surrounding dementia.
