Get Involved

There are many ways to connect to Parkinson’s Australia to show your support.

We are committed to direct engagement with individuals, businesses, organisations and companies that support our work to improve the lives of people affected by Parkinson’s across Australia.

Virtual roundtables

Parkinson’s Australia holds virtual roundtables once a month on different days and times to encourage people to participate no matter what their schedule. Each month, there will be a different timeslot. During these roundtables, we can report back to you about our current projects and listen to your experiences, advice, and feedback. See more below regarding session times and booking.

We invite people living with Parkinson’s, care partners, paid support carers, family, friends, and anyone else affected by Parkinson’s to participate.

Upcoming sessions

These sessions will be conducted via Zoom for no longer than an hour and are for Australian residents only. You can only sign up for one session, though you can sign up for yourself and also on behalf of someone else.

Raise awareness & fundraise

Another way we receive support is through fundraisers. These can vary from asking people donate instead of receiving gifts for a birthday, to other extremes, like our supporter Jeff, who walked the Camino Trail in Europe to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s Australia!

Whatever you decide to do, make sure you’re making an impact. We will support your fundraiser by assisting you in creating your online fundraising campaign. It’s important to share on your socials and that your supporters understand:

Why Parkinson’s is an important cause to you
Your event/activity you have chosen
What your personal goal is.

You can create your own online fundraiser on Facebook, or by using our partner donation platform GiveNow to set up a ‘Crowd Raiser’ and share on social media. Please contact us for further help setting up a fundraiser.
