Testimonials

“Leah Bisiani is a passionate and tireless advocate for people living with dementia. Her unwavering commitment to amplifying their voices, upholding their human rights, and promoting person-centred care is well known amongst her peers.

From my perspective, I see Leah as a person who willingly challenges the stigma, discrimination, and outdated stereotypes that are attached to a person who is living with dementia. She sees the person, not the diagnosis, and insists that care must be tailored to each individual’s unique needs and preferences. Her work has redefined dementia care, shifting the focus from deficits to dignity, autonomy, and meaningful engagement.

Leah’s innovative models of care have earned national and global recognition, including the Lend Lease Award for Excellence in Innovation. Her leadership continues to inspire professionals, families, and communities to embrace compassionate, inclusive approaches that honour the humanity of every person living with dementia”.
