Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It causes inflammation, and damage to the protective covering of nerve fibers, and disrupts the communication between the brain and the rest of the body. MS can lead to various symptoms, including fatigue, muscle weakness, mobility issues, cognitive impairment, and sensory disturbances.

We collaborate with you to develop NDIS multiple sclerosis plans that address your specific needs and goals related to MS. We can help you to identify suitable therapies, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other interventions aimed at managing your symptoms and improving your quality of life.

We can assist you in budgeting and tracking expenses related to NDIS multiple sclerosis therapies and social activities. We ensure the allocated funding is appropriately utilised to meet your NDIS multiple sclerosis needs and goals.
