Founded in 1974, Huntington's WA (Inc) is the only non-profit organisation in WA formed specifically to provide support for those in the community affected by Huntington's Disease.
Huntington's WA offers education, counselling and home visits, promotes research and is an advocate for the HD Community. Our services focus on the quality of life and dignity of the individuals and their families.

What’s it all about?
Huntington's Disease (HD) is an inherited disease affecting areas in the brain which control movement, thinking and emotion. It has a slow progression, and symptoms gradually worsen over time.
Huntington's WA works to empower those affected by Huntington's Disease to meet the extraordinary challenges they face. Currently, Huntington's WA provides support for approximately 160 families and communities who are affected by HD.

• Raising awareness and understanding about HD.
• Operation of a thearapeutic Day Centre program.
• Financial assistance to those affected.
• Collaborating in research projects related to Huntington's Disease.
