A few of you have asked about CARER SUPPORTS FOR CONFERENCE. We have the answer: PLANNED RESPITE (where a service provider cares for your family member or friend while you take a break). 1) Check with your NDIS plan or My Aged Care package first to see what support you can access. 2) Ring Carer Gateway on 1800422737 to discuss any further support needs. Why attend? We have sessions for carers, a carers break out room for you to take a break and speak with other carers anytime throughout the conference and exhibitors with assistive technologies that can help at home. Dont miss out as tickets are selling fast! www.parkinsons.org.au/conference @followers @topfans Australian Carers Group Carer Support Group Australia Carers Australia NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme Lewy Body On Line Support Group AU The Growing Space The Hospital Research Foundation Group - Parkinsons ACT Move YOPD PD Warrior Global Tribe Young Onset Parkinsons Exchange Dance for Parkinsons Australia Shake It Up Australia Foundation for Parkinsons ResearchImage attachmentImage attachment+1Image attachment

We are saddened by the passing of John McDonald. John was also a treasured member of the Parkinsons Australia Board for over 10 years, and his contributions will be greatly missed.
