HOW YOU CAN HELP
Sign up to take part
We cannot do our research and try to make a difference if we do not have people taking part in our studies. You, your family, friends, and healthcare providers are vital to furthering our understanding of Parkinson's. You can take part in our research by visiting the Research tab of this website or by clicking on the link below and providing your email address.
come along to our talks
We regularly speak at community forums such as PWA support groups and rotary clubs. We advertise our talks on social media, and plan to post a schedule for the year on the website soon.
Gifting
Our research relies upon funding, which we get by applying for government grants, medical research grants, industry funding, and local grants. Unfortunately, the odds of grant success are quite low but we are persistent and innovative.
We are very lucky to have been supported by funding from Parkinson's Western Australia, for which we are incredibly grateful.
If you would like to support us with a financial gift, please speak with Curtin Giving at give@curtin.edu.au or by calling (08) 9266 9255. We greatly appreciate all donations. Please ensure you state you want to donate to ParkC, a research group led by Associate Professor Andrea Loftus in the School of Population Health.
If you have ideas, share them
The whole premise of ParkC is inclusivity and we try to operate as a 'consumer-led' research group. This means we seek to involve the Parkinson's community in our science and we love discussing research ideas with the community. If you have any issues you would like us to consider researching, please do contact us. You can email Andrea (Director) at andrea.loftus@curtin.edu.au.
