BONUS: The condition killing children at the same rate as cancer

Dementia is now Australia’s leading cause of death, and it doesn’t just affect the elderly.

In this bonus episode of The Briefing, we revisit Antoinette Lattouf’s conversation with Meg Maack - CEO of the Childhood Dementia Initiative and mother to two children with childhood dementia.
