About Us
Parkinson’s Queensland Incorporated is a non-profit, community-based organisation established in 1986 to provide information, counselling and support to people living with Parkinson’s disease. Our resources such as Info line and our network of support groups throughout Queensland have helped many individuals and their families better manage living with Parkinson’s disease.
We also play an advocacy role on behalf of the Parkinson’s disease community and strive to increase community awareness about the disease through educational sessions and promotional events.
At a national level, affiliation with Parkinson’s Australia provides strong links with other state Parkinson’s organisations. We also maintain contact with other Parkinson’s organisations around the world.
Parkinson’s Queensland Inc. seeks to make a positive contribution to the provision of treatment and professional support services for people with Parkinson’s disease. We provide in-service training and education to health professionals.
