Ann’s Story

Ann, from Botany Access, has been raising funds for MND for many years, after her husband John was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2002.

The COVID-19 pandemic has literally disrupted every aspect of life, including how we grieve.

Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney invite you to take part in a research study that explores the experiences and support needs of people bereaved from any cause during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With COVID restrictions in place, and many locales in NSW currently under lockdown, a trip to the shops to stock up on your weekly essentials can be even trickier.

The taxi transport subsidy scheme (TTSS) supports residents who are unable to use public transport because of a severe and permanent disability.

If you're eligible, you could receive a subsidy of 50% of a taxi fare, up to a maximum subsidy of $60 and only pay the remaining fare. This includes travel in wheelchair accessible taxis.
