Property Industry Gives Back: REGROWTH Consultancy powers support for childhood dementia
REGROWTH Consultancy has announced a formal partnership with Childhood Dementia Initiative as part of its corporate social impact program. The partnership aims to raise awareness about childhood dementia and support families affected by this terminal condition.
Kylie Walsh, Director and founder of REGROWTH, was inspired to support the cause after hearing from a spokesperson from Childhood Dementia Initiative at the Elders Lifestyle Group's annual conference. She recognised an opportunity to mobilise real estate professionals to contribute to better research and support for affected families.
The partnership creates an opportunity for the consultancy and coaching business to contribute to a cause that affects many families across the country. In Australia, a baby is born every 3 days with a condition that will result in childhood dementia. This is a similar number to those born with well-known disorders like cystic fibrosis.
“We are so grateful for REGROWTH Consultancy's leadership and generosity. This partnership will have immediate and lasting impacts on children with dementia," said Deanne Bennett, Partnerships Fundraising Manager at Childhood Dementia Initiative.
Over 100 genetic conditions cause childhood dementia. All are terminal and currently without cures. Fifty percent of affected children die by age 10, most don’t reach adulthood. Before dying, children with dementia progressively lose skills such as their abilities to play, learn, eat, talk and move.
The partnership will be first launched to the industry at REGROWTH's signature annual event, Navigate 2025, taking place on March 27-28 at the Commonwealth Bank's Yana Budjari Auditorium in Sydney. Lauren Kirk, Co-Director of REGROWTH, expressed enthusiasm about profiling childhood dementia and the work of Childhood Dementia Initiative at the event to garner greater support for the cause.
“We see this is an opportunity to empower property professionals, leaders and business owners to both grow and thrive and also to give back to their communities.
“No matter where in Australia you are based, there will be a child and family either grappling with the terrible impacts of childhood dementia, or missing a child who has died with dementia,” adds Deanne. “The property industry is in every community and has enormous potential to generate a groundswell of action for this neglected and under-served condition.”
REGROWTH holds over 40 events throughout the year and intends to support Childhood Dementia Initiative at all of them, combining awareness-raising with calls for donations. The goal is to achieve positive outcomes in both awareness and fundraising while ensuring equitable access to quality care for children with dementia and their families.
This partnership represents a significant step in the property industry's commitment to giving back to the community and supporting critical health initiatives.

Regrowth Consultancy is excited to announce a formal partnership with Childhood Dementia Initiative
Monday 24th Feb
Regrowth Consultancy is excited to announce a formal partnership with Childhood Dementia Initiative, selected unanimously by the Consultancy firm at a recent strategy day as a part of their CSR corporate social impact contribution. Childhood Dementia Initiative is also an organisation in its infancy and launched five years ago, like REGROWTH. The partnership provided such a great opportunity for the consultancy and coaching business to help raise awareness of childhood dementia and assist families affected by the condition, an illness that tragically leads to suffering and loss for so many.
With over 100 genetic conditions causing childhood dementia, all of which are terminal and currently without cures, this issue is pressing. In Australia, a baby is born every 3 days with a condition that will result in childhood dementia, comparable in frequency to well-known disorders like cystic fibrosis. Disturbingly, 50% of these children are expected to pass away by age 10, and 71% may not reach their 18th birthday.
Director and founder Kylie Walsh was inspired to support this cause after hearing a spokesperson from Childhood Dementia Initiative at the Elders Lifestyle Group’s annual conference. She recognised that REGROWTH could passionately rally behind efforts to raise funds and awareness, aiming to support the experiences of families and children by encouraging the property profession to contribute to innovative research and support.
Co-Director of REGROWTH Lauren Kirk expressed her enthusiasm about hosting the Childhood Dementia Initiative team at Navigate 2025 to share their message about sustainable global health solutions and raise awareness. Throughout the year, Regrowth will support this initiative at various events, conferences, and training sessions, striving for positive outcomes in awareness and fund-raising while ensuring equitable access to quality care for children with dementia and their families.
"We are so grateful for Regrowth Consultancy's leadership and generosity. This partnership will have immediate and lasting impacts on children with dementia,” said Partnerships Fundraising Manager at Childhood Dementia Initiative, Deanne Bennett.
