Palliative Care Tasmania

Today is World Parkinson’s Day.

Parkinson’s disease affects around 70,000 Australians and currently, there is no cure.

Our sector naturally has a strong focus on cancer, as it accounts for over 50 per cent of all palliative care-related hospitalisations, but palliative care can be just as beneficial for many other life-limiting illnesses like PD.

The Parkinson's Australia website has a wide range of useful information and resources for individuals and families living with the disease.
