Access our MND Support Services
MND Victoria is a not-for-profit organisation offering comprehensive support for Victorians living with motor neurone disease (MND).
Our services, provided at no direct cost, extend across the state to support people with MND, their families, friends, and health professionals involved in their care. Through our Access and Education team, we are committed to delivering personalised guidance and resources to improve the lives of those impacted by MND.
Supporting people and families
At MND Victoria, we believe everyone deserves access to support without financial burden. Our services include everything from everyday assistance to complex care coordination, ensuring that people with MND and their families are supported at every stage.
Support services for people under 65
For people under 65, MND Victoria is a registered provider of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This support system is available to those who acquire a disability and apply before reaching 65, offering a wide array of services through personalised plans. From daily care assistance to advanced assistive technologies, we help eligible people navigate and benefit from the NDIS.
Support services for people 65 and older
For people aged 65 and above, MND Victoria provides access to support through Commonwealth Aged Care programs. These programs offer valuable services to assist with personal care, home modifications, and community engagement. At MND Victoria, we work with each person to help them access these supports, ensuring their needs are met even if NDIS eligibility has passed.
Support for the MND Community
Our commitment goes beyond individual support. We provide resources and assistance to health professionals across Victoria, empowering them to offer informed, empathetic care to those affected by MND. We also understand the essential role that family, friends, and carers play, offering them access to counselling, peer support, and respite services to foster emotional wellbeing and community connection.
