Barbara Cullinan

Barbara, a dedicated physiotherapist with 23 years of experience, has made it her mission to provide specialised care and programs for individuals with Parkinson's Disease and just as importantly, their caregivers. Recognising the importance of enabling patients to live and age with dignity while enhancing their overall quality of life, she has established a small centre on the Sunshine Coast to cater to the needs of people with Parkinson's, their carers, families, and friends.

As the prevalence of Parkinson's Disease continues to increase globally, Barbara understands the urgency to expand her services and reach a larger audience. To address this growing demand, she envisions scaling up and creating ‘The Park.’ Through the SPARK program, Barbara aims to develop a scalable model that can be replicated in other locations that goes beyond the health needs of people living with Parkinson’s and supports the whole of life support they and their families and carers need.
