How we can help you

We help people who are experiencing cognitive decline from ageing or age-related diseases. Cognitive decline is when you have difficulty with memory, paying attention, speaking or understanding. You may also have difficulty recognising people, places or things, and might find new places or situations overwhelming.

Our team will thoroughly assess what is happening for you. We will take time to listen to your concerns and frustrations and provide advice on managing your cognitive decline through lifestyle changes and medicines (if appropriate). We will involve your family or carers and provide you information on your condition and a suite of therapy options both in the community and Hospital. We can also discuss new treatments and clinical trials with you.

We care for people over the age of 60 years who live in South Eastern Sydney. We care for those with a suspected cognitive disorder (including mild cognitive impairment, dementia) or those with a known cognitive disorder with complications.

Our team include specialist aged care Doctors called Geriatricians and doctors in training as well as specialised nurses and administration staff. 

Our Geriatricians are:

  • Dr Thi Yen Hill

We work in partnership with your local doctor (GP), Prince of Wales Hospital and Community Health Services, local pharmacies and other Aged care service providers (including War Memorial Hospital, Day centres and residential aged care facilities).

You will need a referral letter from your local general practitioner (GP) or specialty doctor to use this service. Your doctor will need to submit this referral electronically via Healthlink. Your referral will include your medical history, relevant test results, X-ray results and what medicines you are currently taking.

Once we receive this referral and accept it we will send you a letter with your appointment details. We will also send this to your doctor. If we cannot make an appointment for you, we will send you a letter confirming that you are on the waiting list for the next available appointment.

If you provide your mobile phone number, you will receive a SMS reminder in the week before your appointment.   

You may need to wait from 3 - 6 months for your first appointment.

If you change your address and/or phone number, or need to change or cancel your appointment, please telephone the Aged Care Department during business hours on 02 9382 4252.

  • Brain imaging (CT or MRI) if none within the last 12 months.

Bring these test results to your first appointment along with:

  • Glasses
  • Hearing aids
