Parkinson’s is the second most common neurological condition in the world. It is more prevalent than many common cancers, including breast and prostate cancer.

It is a progressive, degenerative condition of the central nervous system. Nerve cell damage in the brain causes dopamine levels to drop, leading to the symptoms of Parkinson's.

These include tremors, slow movement, stiffness and loss of balance. Also fatigue, apathy, depression, disturbed sleep, loss of sense of smell, and issues with speech and swallowing. As yet there is no cure.

Parkinson’s NSW is a for-purpose organisation striving to make life better for people living with Parkinson’s, their families and carers.

It provides essential services such as counselling, Support Groups, an InfoLine supported by Registered Nurses, education, and fundraising for research. Its mission is to improve the quality of life of people affected by Parkinson’s, while advancing towards a cure.
