An estimated 219,000 Australians in our community live with Parkinson’s or Atypical Parkinson’s. We provide a centralised hub that brings together medical professionals, researchers, carers, supporters, government, and donors in the effort to Fight Parkinson’s for those who need us most.
While living with Parkinson’s can be challenging, there are many things you can do to maintain and improve your quality of life and live well with the condition.
We help fund, support, advocate and publicise research that will further our mission to deliver services for those in our community with Parkinsons, and who are supporting someone living with Parkinsons.
As leaders within the Parkinson’s community in Australia, we have a deep understanding of the needs and challenges of people living with Parkinson’s, or Atypical Parkinson’s (PSP, MSA, CBS), and their families, and carers.
There are many ways you can support Fight Parkinson’s. We have many activities you can take part in, plus opportunities to volunteer. Choose a fun and rewarding activity that will help make a difference to people living with Parkinson’s.
Fight Parkinson’s provides a range of resources and publications that can assist people living with Parkinson’s, their families and carers to feel more informed about the condition.
