Projects Parkinson’s Australia has brought forward to further education, access and quality of life for the community.

Our projects are shaped by the voices of people living with Parkinson’s. We address the barriers, gaps and unmet needs identified by our community to improve care, influence policy and advance best-practice outcomes across Australia. Through collaboration, advocacy and evidence-based action, we work to create lasting change where it matters most.

    Intersecting Voices Initiative

    A new $1.4 million national program focused on younger Australians living with Parkinson’s & Essential Tremor, Intersecting Voices puts their lived experience at the centre. Diverse people living with Parkinson’s & ET in their 20s to 50s will co-design resources that reflect their real needs across work, family, culture, gender, and location.

    The Intersecting Voices Initiative receives funding from the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. Our Partners include the Centre for Equity & Health Australia, National Rural Health Alliance, BlakAbility, LGBTQI+ Health Australia, and My Moves Matter with clinical advice from Precision Health.

    Parkinson’s Disease Education eXchange (PDEX)

    Parkinson's Disease Education Exchange – Understanding the Experiences of People Living with Parkinson’s and Their Caregivers.

    Through initiatives like PDEX, Parkinson’s Australia is expanding its role beyond advocacy into workforce capability building. By strengthening clinician education, the organisation aims to drive systemic improvement in Parkinson’s diagnosis, treatment and long-term care.

    This project reflects Parkinson’s Australia’s commitment to ensuring that every person living with Parkinson’s, regardless of location, has access to informed, oordinated and person-centred healthcare.
