Our vision
A world free of Parkinson’s, and until a cure is found, for those living with Parkinson’s to be empowered to live full and active lives.
Our mission
We will empower people living with Parkinson’s to get the most out of life, to be their own advocate, and to raise funds to support research in delivering effective therapies, treatments, and a cure.
Our values
The Parkinson’s community is at the heart of everything we do. We work with our heads and hearts entwined to make a positive difference to all those living with Parkinson’s or Atypical Parkinson’s (PSP, MSA, CBS). We know that our community and their experience of Parkinson’s is unique, wide-ranging and ever-changing, and we seek to be inclusive of this diversity in all aspects of our work.
As leaders within the Parkinson’s Australia community, we have a deep understanding of the needs and challenges of people with Parkinson’s, or Atypical Parkinson’s and their families. Our knowledge has been richly developed and curated. Through evidence and best practice, we are able to educate our community, driving their capacity for empowerment to self-manage and make informed choices.
We champion a learning culture of innovation and continual improvement. This culture of advancement allows us to provide the highest quality support and services to the Parkinson’s community. It affects everything we do and is supported by our global connections, collaborations, and research partnerships.
We are confident in our expertise, reputation, and ability to create systemic change. Our courage and leadership are inspired by our community, and they show us how.
