Parkinson’s ACT
Parkinson’s ACT promotes the well-being and interests of people with Parkinson’s, their families, friends and carers in the ACT and nearby region.
In April 2022, Parkinson’s ACT partnered with The Hospital Research Foundation Group.
Together we are committed to increasing and improving services for Parkinson’s clients and their families in and around the Australian Capital Territory as well as supporting vital research into the disease.
Our shared objective is to maximise choice, independence and wellbeing for people affected by Parkinson’s or other movement disorders through support, education and advocacy.
Walk to Fight Parkinson’s
Walk to Fight Parkinson’s is an opportunity for our community to raise vital funds and show support for people living with Parkinson’s and their families in the ACT.
