Aged Care is failing people with motor neurone disease

Motor Neurone Disease Australia has launched a campaign to call on the Government to make access to support services fair for ALL people diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND).

People diagnosed with MND aged 65 or over are being forced to rely on unsuitable Aged Care services for their care and support needs, despite the fact they have the same needs as a person diagnosed under the age of 65.

MND is not age related.....

MND Clinical Trial Update

Clinical trial information has been updated on the MND Australia website.

As the MND community in Australia is relatively small, participants may need to travel to interstate centres if they are eligible to participate in a trial.

Two phase 2 trials, TEALS (Tecfidera in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and FORTITUDE-ALS are now actively recruiting. People can contact their neurologist or MND Advisor to discuss.

Clinical trials for Triumeq and Cu(11) ATSM trials have now closed.
