Education and info sessions

MND education and information sessions are held throughout the year in Sydney and other areas of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. There is usually no charge to attend an MND NSW education or information session if you are a person living with motor neurone disease, a family member, carer or friend. However, bookings are essential.

Have you, or someone close to you, been recently diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND)?

Our online interactive information sessions are for people who are newly diagnosed with MND and their support network. These sessions will provide an opportunity for you and your family to have some of your questions answered.

For people with motor neurone disease, their family and friends.

Living Well with MND is a one-day program providing a range of strategies to live well with MND and to maintain independence. It also provides the opportunity for you to have your questions answered by a range of health professionals with expertise in MND, and to meet others who understand what it is like to live with MND.

For people with motor neurone disease, their family and friends.

Do you have questions about current therapies or research into motor neurone disease? Are more people being diagnosed with motor neurone disease? What palliative care can offer people living with motor neurone disease? Bring your questions to the annual Ask the Experts forum.

For the carer (usually a family member or friend) of a person with motor neurone disease.

This two-day residential carers workshop focuses on the physical and emotional aspects of caring for a person with motor neurone disease.

MND support groups and coffee mornings provide the opportunity for people living with MND to meet together regularly. Often, a guest speaker is invited to the meeting. Guest speakers include health workers who know about motor neurone disease or a person with expertise in a topic that may be of interest to the people at the meeting.
