Support Groups

Half of our Support Groups are in regional areas.

Supporting our Parkinson’s community in regional WA is vitally important to Parkinson’s WA.

We now have 10 regional Support Groups holding meetings each month throughout the year.  These include Mandurah, Bunbury, Busselton, Collie, Margaret River, Lower South West (Manjimup), Albany, Esperance, Narrogin/Darkan and Northam.

These groups are generally run by community members with a close connection to Parkinson’s and offer guest speakers on a range of topics catering to the needs of their members.

If you or someone you know is living in one of these areas and have not yet accessed the local Parkinson’s Support Group, we can provide you with the meeting time and Leader’s contact details.

Sinemet® Shortage

Unfortunately Sinemet® will be in short supply until possibly December 2019. The shortage is due to a problem at the manufacturer’s level.

Health Care Professionals

Parkinson’s WA provides education, resources and support for Health Professionals. We produce resources including manuals for nurses, GPs and physiotherapists plus free brochures.
