No matter your stage or relationship to Parkinson’s, we are in this together.
Parkinson’s and You
Information about Parkinson’s and how it affects your life.
- What is Parkinson’s?
  Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects people from all walks of life. It is quite common, many people are affected and if you have recently been diagnosed you are not alone, Fight Parkinson’s is here to support you.
- Symptoms
  Although classified as a movement disorder, it can affect people in different ways. Sometimes the emotional changes can be more troublesome than the motor changes, and can have a bigger impact on the day-to-day life of someone living with Parkinson’s.
- Treatments & Professional Support
  It is important for people living with Parkinson’s to be proactive in the management of their condition. However, they do not have to face this challenge alone.
- Living with Parkinson’s
  One of the key things to remember is that most people with Parkinson’s disease continue to live long and rewarding lives.
- Health Professionals

Swan Hill Community Seminar 2025

Swan Hill Club, 5/17 McCallum St, Swan Hill VIC 3585 (map)

Thu 22nd May 2025, 10:00am to 1:00pm (3 hours)

Are you interested in learning more about Parkinson's and connecting with other people living with the condition? Join us at our Swan Hill Community Seminar on Thursday 22 May.

Fight Parkinson's community seminar will provide attendees with an insight to Parkinson’s, current and future treatments research and assist them in recognising when claims about some therapies may be too good to be true.

We will also be presenting a section of the Your Care Your Choice education program. This innovative program will provide insights into navigating the health and community systems to find where you can get support for Parkinson’s and provide information for communicating need, self-advocacy, and choice.

This free event welcomes anyone in the Swan Hill region and surrounding areas.

Your Care, Your Choice is proudly delivered with the support of a Peer Support and Capacity Building grant provided by NDIS. Fight Parkinson’s is proud to be delivering projects for the Peer Support and Capacity Building (PSCB) grant for the NDIS. Together we’re ensuring that people with disability keep accessing supports to build their skills and connect with others who have shared similar experiences.

While there is no fee to attend this event, registrations are required. You can register by calling Fight Parkinson's on 03 8809 0400 or online via the link below:
