RACGP submission - Public consultation for the review and update of the Dementia clinical practice guidelines and principles of care

Date: July 2026

The RACGP's feedback is guided by the following key considerations:

• Successful implementation will depend on equitable access to services, appropriate funding, specialist support, clearly defined care pathways, and guidance that reflects the realities of clinical practice.
• Some areas of the Guidelines have important implications for general practice and primary care and will require clear pathways, practical guidance, and appropriate support.
• A living guideline approach would support usability, consistency, and ongoing relevance.
