NeuronsVR has pioneered an innovative therapeutic approach that uniquely meets the cultural needs of First Nations aged care residents with Dementia. Collaborating with ARRCS and First Nations Elders, NeuronsVR provides an experience unmatched by traditional care. With exclusive access to culturally significant sites, NeuronsVR has created custom immersive virtual reality experiences to empower residents to reconnect with cultural memories in a setting of profound respect and authenticity.
Authenticity Beyond Replication
NeuronsVR’s content has been carefully crafted in collaboration with Elders and cultural custodians who have been instrumental in capturing the essence of sacred sites, allowing residents to virtually revisit places of spiritual and personal importance.
The nuances embedded in each experience—from language and storytelling to the landscapes depicted—are grounded in authentic cultural knowledge and respect for community values. This approach guarantees that each program is a genuine extension of First Nations heritage, making NeuronsVR’s VR experiences truly one-of-a-kind.
Cultural Inclusion and a New Standard in Aged Care for First Nations Residents
The therapeutic impact of these VR experiences reaches beyond emotional well-being; it bridges generations and brings a vital dimension of cultural respect to aged care. Informed by ARRCS and other cultural advocates, NeuronsVR programs establish a much-needed precedent in aged care, where cultural inclusivity is more than a guiding principle—it’s an intrinsic part of residents’ health and identity.
Attracting Families and Elevating Resident Satisfaction
With NeuronsVR’s custom-developed content, your facility can provide something few others offer— authentic, culturally resonant experiences to help First Nations residents reconnect with their heritage. Families searching for aged care options are increasingly looking for facilities that prioritise meaningful, engaging therapies.
Not only do these therapies preserve cultural narratives and traditions, but they can also serve as an educational tool for future generations – honouring these sacred spaces in a format that enhances dementia therapy whilst also allowing residents to connect with loved ones in a way they may have otherwise lost.

It’s not only First Nations people that NeuronsVR is creating content for, but everyone. Our unique approach to virtual reality therapy allows us to tailor therapy solutions to your residents.
