MND Health Professional Webinar Series
From 2023, MND Victoria is partnering with MND NSW and MNDSA and expert clinicians to deliver a series of MND webinars. Expert presenters will share their knowledge and experience and answer your questions.
This series is suited for health professionals working with people affected by MND, or with an interest in learning more about MND. Webinars can be attended live or viewed for one month following each event.
Cost: Purchase individual webinars for $25.

Residential Aged Care Facilities Education
When a person with MND moves into an Aged Care facility, their care needs may be quite different to those of other residents. MND Victoria Health Professionals can present an education session for Aged Care Facility staff about the specific needs of people living with MND, the supports available and, where relevant, the individual needs of their resident who is living with MND.
Bespoke Training for Organisations
