Background on Huntington's Disease

Huntington's disease is a progressive neurological disorder affecting the brain and central nervous system. It is inherited and leads to a decline in mental and physical abilities, ultimately resulting in significant impairment and mortality.

Role in the Community

As part of the broader efforts to address Huntington's disease in Australia, organizations like Huntington's WA play a crucial role in raising awareness and providing community support. Their work contributes to national initiatives through collaboration with other state and national bodies, such as Huntington's Australia, which was formed in October 2023 to unify support services across the country.

Nonprofit Status

Huntington's WA operates as a registered nonprofit organization, relying on donations and support from the community to continue its services. The organization's work is guided by a commitment to improving the lives of those affected by Huntington's disease through compassion and advocacy.
