The FRONTIER Research Group is the largest specialist fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) clinic in Australia. Since 2007, we have specialised in the diagnosis, prognosis, and care of people with FTD and related conditions. We also specialise in researching social cognition, neuroimaging, speech and language, behaviour, clinical management, and many other aspects related to FTD and dementia more generally. We work with patients with FTD, Alzheimer's disease, and related diseases, including corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).

We collaborate with carers and families to help inform diagnosis and obtain important information about participants' functioning and cognitive change. Importantly, we aim to assist carers through all stages of the FTD journey through education, psychosocial support, and referral to specialist services.

FRONTIER is headed by Professor Olivier Piguet and involves approximately 20 researchers, clinicians, neurologists, and administrative staff. Our work is supported by the government through the National Health and Medical Research Council, university funding, and community donations. Our clinic is located at the Brain and Mind Centre in the University of Sydney and is integrated with the ForeFront collaborative research network.
