A Parkinson’s Peer Support Group is a gathering of people whose lives are affected by Parkinson’s, who meet regularly in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Activities generally undertaken by a Peer Support Group include:

Sharing information and solutions to common situations
Hearing from health care professionals about new developments in Parkinson’s medication, treatment options and research
Discussing experiences and feelings
Taking part in community awareness raising activities
Enjoying company and friendship with others in a similar situation

Each peer support group is unique in its membership and style. The Werribee Parkinson’s group meets once a month on the 3rd Friday of the month. The group is run by dedicated members of the community who are seeking volunteer support.

People living with Parkinson’s, their carers, friends and family are all welcome.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians

Wyndham City Council recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Peoples of Australia. We acknowledge the Bunurong and Wadawurrung Peoples as Traditional Owners of the lands on which Wyndham City operates. The Wadawurrung and Bunurong Peoples have and always will belong to the Werribee Yalook (river), creeks, stars, hills and red clay of this Country. We pay respect to their Ancestors and Elders who always have, and always will, care for Country and community today and for future generations.
