SUPPORTING MND VICTORIA
WHO is MND VICTORIA?
MND Victoria has focused on care and support programs to improve the lives of thousands of families impacted by motor neurone disease (MND) for the last 45 years. We are the only not-for-profit organisation providing direct care to the 600+ families currently impacted by this devastating disease in Victoria.
At MND Victoria, we pride ourselves in knowing that everyone in Victoria, no matter if they live regionally or in the city, have access to the same comprehensive level of support, care, and equipment through our services.
Because until there’s a cure, there’s care.
Support for every stage of the journey
MND Victoria offer a wide range of supports to people living with MND, their carers and families. These support services include, but are not limited to:
MND Advisor and Support Coordinator Service
MND Advisors support people living with MND to navigate their changing needs and help them live with the best possible quality of life.
Equipment Service
As MND progresses, assistive technology needs can change quickly. Our Equipment Loan Service helps provide vital equipment when it is needed.
Access and Education
Our Access and Education team supports people newly diagnosed with MND, their families, friends and health professionals with information, education and guidance.
Volunteer Programs
Our volunteers bring their time, skills and experience to support people living with MND and their families, while strengthening the work of MND Victoria.
Carer Support Programs
Family carers play an essential role in supporting someone living with MND. Our programs provide support, connection and opportunities for respite.
Counselling Service
Our specialist counselling service supports people living with MND and their carers through the emotional challenges that can come with an MND diagnosis.
How your support helps!
MND Victoria exists as an organisation to help lighten the load for individuals and families navigating an MND diagnosis. But we can't continue to provide these vital services without the generosity of our incredible MND community.
