Roundtable Reminder! Dont miss your opportunity to connect at the next Virtual Roundtable on 6 May 2024. Our Virtual Roundtables are an opportunity for us to continue our advocacy work and gather information on how Parkinsons affects individuals, carers and families across Australia. The information gathered will be kept confidential by name, however will be used to build collateral for lobbying the federal government for funding for better support and services, as well as improving education and awareness on a national scale on behalf of everyone affected by Parkinson’s.
