Parkinson's NSW
There are 70,000 people in New South Wales living with Parkinson's. Your support allows Parkinson's NSW to continue our mission to enhance the quality of life to all people living with Parkinson's.
Thank you for your support. Together, we can make a real difference for people living with Parkinson's.
Last year our supporters helped us deliver the following
InfoLine Calls
3,400 InfoLine calls were answered, providing information and referrals to people living with Parkinson’s and their caregivers.
Information Seminars
Support Groups
75 support groups offered more than 2,500 participants valuable peer-support in cities and regional areas – including online via Facebook and Zoom video-chat sessions.
Counselling Sessions
The demand for counselling remained strong, with our dedicated team conducting 230 sessions addressing issues such as anxiety, caregiver stress, and the challenges of managing progression.
Parkinson's Specialist Nurses
Our four community-based Parkinson’s Specialist Nurses travelled nearly 18,000 kilometres, completing over 240 consultations and supporting over 2,370 patients. They played a vital role in expanding neurological telehealth services, with sessions growing more than fivefold.
Advocacy Milestones
We were proud to join the National Parkinson’s Alliance, amplifying our voice at both state and national levels. Our ongoing outreach to government and healthcare leaders continues to secure better outcomes for the Parkinson’s community.
