Parkinson’s SA is a not for profit organisation that has provided support and information to people living with Parkinson’s and other movement disorders, their carers, family, the community and health professionals for over 30 years.

We represent and support the 7000 people with Parkinson’s in SA. We are not only available for support at diagnosis and in the early stages, but throughout the progression of the condition.

With a very small team of 7 part-time staff and supported by volunteers, Parkinson’s SA offers many informative and supportive workshops, courses and seminars for people with Parkinson’s, carers, family members and friends and health professionals. The majority of these services are free.

As a charity, Parkinson’s SA relies heavily on donations and fundraising to survive. Many people mistakenly believe that we are funded wholly by the government but this is not the case. Parkinson’s SA generates over half of its own budget through fundraising, donations, applying for philanthropic grants and providing training services to other organisations.
