Nikki A Creber is mission-fuelled and purpose-driven. Having Parkinson’s disease herself, she coordinated to date, the Tewantin Noosa Parkinson’s Support Group for 4.5 years in an area covering Caloundra to Cooroy in the hinterland, to Gympie in the north. Believing that movement is a key ingredient in maintaining a great quality of life when living with Parkinson's disease, Nikki established a WrapAround Team which provides beneficial activities such as boxing, Physiotherapy driven exercise, singing, speech therapy and dance for the members of the Tewantin Noosa Parkinson's Support Group. Nikki and her husband led a campaign to gain a dedicated Parkinson’s Support Nurse for the Sunshine Coast area and continues to campaign for a further three nurses through their newly formed, Parkinson's Disease Community Advocacy, Sunshine Coast incorporated not-for-profit, charitable association. Her active advocacy continues as she connects with media, individuals, business, the local Mayor and State Members to raise awareness about this largely hidden disease and advocate for equality in Queensland by establishment of Clinical Consultant Parkinson's Practitioner Nurses.
