The Australian model of ParkinsonNet will focus on care which has been codesigned by people living with Parkinson’s and health carers who live and work in regional Australia, which researchers believe will be crucial to its success.
The project aims to:
- improve access to expert multidisciplinary care for people with Parkinson’s.
- provide specialised training opportunities for allied health professionals.
- improve equity of care and quality of life for people with Parkinson’s living in regional and rural communities.
- reduce hospitalisations and delay entry into residential aged care.
“This project is about bringing best-practice models of care to Australia,” Professor Callisaya said.
“It’s about delivering better care, closer to home, and ensuring people aren’t disadvantaged because of where they live.”
The survey will be available to complete until 22 March 2026.
