Parliamentary Friendship Groups are non-partisan forums for MPs to meet and interact with community causes.
Groups are open to all Senators and Members and have no sponsorship from external organisations.
The Parliamentary Friends of Parkinson’s Group is Co-chaired by Senator Catryna Bilyk and Senator Wendy Askew. The group provides a non-partisan forum for Members and Senators to interact with representatives from the Parkinson’s community. Together they raise awareness on national issues relating to Parkinson’s health and wellbeing. They also lobby for the investment into research to stop, slow, reverse and cure Parkinson’s.
