Memory Lane Café

The Australian and Victorian governments, under the Home and Community Care Program, have provided funding for Café Style Support Programs that are offered throughout Victoria.

These cafés provide an opportunity for people experiencing memory loss and their family members to enjoy time together with some refreshments and entertainment, in the company of people in a similar situation to themselves. Alzheimer’s Australia Vic counselling staff and trained volunteers also attend.
Memory Lane Café was launched as a culturally specific pilot and MCWA was running a Macedonian Café in collaboration with Alzheimer Australia. Pilot has been established in 2014.
Since 2014, Memory Lane Café is a multicultural project and a few nationalities have been meeting together. Every Café has a specific theme and on that day a certain culture is presented with entertainment, interesting facts, music, dancing and culturally appropriate food.
So far, the Café has been a great success.
