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.

Community Seminars

Jan. 16, 2025

The Fight Parkinson’s Community Seminar program will continue into 2025.

The community seminars feature information on a range of topics designed to help people better understand Parkinson’s, its treatments and the value of social connection.

As leaders within the Parkinson's community in Australia, Fight Parkinson’s has developed an understanding of the needs and challenges of people living with Parkinson’s, and Atypical Parkinson’s (PSP, MSA & CBS), and their families.

We are committed to empowering our community with evidenced and best practice knowledge and tools to enable people to make informed choices and self-manage the condition and their individual symptoms.

Our community seminar program is an important part of this commitment to realise possibilities and better outcomes to help people with Parkinson’s to live full and active lives following diagnosis.

Upcoming Community Seminars:

Geelong (Thu 20th Feb, 11:00am)

More 2025 Community Seminars will be announced soon! Stay tuned!
