Event and Fundraising Coordinator at Motor Neurone Disease Association of Queensland Inc. - Oxley, QLD, AU
Speech Language Pathologist at the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association Queensland
The Motor Neurone Disease Association Queensland (MNDAQ) is committed to supporting and maintaining the quality of life for all people living with MND within Queensland. To do this we run an Information & Referral Advisory service that provides essential information to families, health professionals and the general public; physical and emotional support to patients and carers, and referral to appropriate medical, health and community services. Client members have access to a small library pool of equipment to help them to remain comfortable and as independent as possible within their own homes. Carer support is also vital as the needs and health of the primary care-giver are important. Regular contact with our Advisors and other carers allows people living with MND to share experiences, learn from each other, and offer a great source of information and support. Regular support meetings for both current and past carers, family members & friends and a bi-monthly newsletter are just some of the ways in which we support the whole family through their journey with MND.
