Health Support Groups
Motor Neurone
MND Australia
MND support groups and programs.
Multiple Sclerosis
MS Connect
Living with multiple sclerosis or caring for someone with the condition can be challenging – especially the people newly diagnosed, who can feel particularly vulnerable. At MS, one way we’ve addressed this is through our Peer Support program, whereby people living with multiple sclerosis or their family members or carers can support one another either in a one-on-one or group setting, typically over the phone or online.
Angelman Syndrome
Angelman Syndrome Association Australia
The goal of ASAA is to support, inform, educate, network, promote research and to advocate for families affected by AS. ASAA is focussed on providing family support for all the day-to-day aspects of managing and planning with AS. This is achieved through direct family support, education and social events at a national and state level, accessible information on the ASAA website and development of AS specific resources, such as our NDIS Guide for AS Families.
