The Safe & Found program supports people living with dementia or a cognitive impairment who might be at risk of becoming lost or reported as missing, by ensuring Police have immediate access to critical information to assist when undertaking search operations.
Safe & Found WA is an initiative introduced by Western Australia Police Force and Australia Medic Alert Foundation.
More information is available to share with families and carers of your patients with dementia who may be concerned about people in their care going missing at www.safeandfound.org.au.
Email enquiry@safeandfound.org.au or phone 1800 88 22 22
The Program is provided for an annual fee.
Guidance for clinicians on assessment, management, and referral of patients with dementia can be found on the recently reviewed Dementia pathway.
