Welcome to Essential Tremor Australia
I couldn’t believe that there are 300,000+ Australians living with Essential Tremor and no patient advocacy organisation to support the community.
When I reached out to “Shakey Nan” aka Nichole, who is living with ET and raising awareness on a daily basis through her social media I asked her, “Is there a need for an Australian organisation to support people living with ET?” Her answer was a resounding “Yes!” and so Essential Tremor Australia was born.
It’s taken the best part of a year to write, edit and produce this website with our Lived Experience Advisory Group, Neurologists and Allied Health Professionals which is just the beginning of the information and support for the community.
We champion awareness, connection and support for people of all ages living with ET, from the first signs of tremor to navigating daily life with dignity and confidence. We advocate for better recognition, improved care pathways and access to the tools that help people thrive.
Yours in advocacy and change,
Olivia
