"people living with MS do not just need us to provide services - they must be able to afford them. Help us convince members of the South Australian Government that this is a priority"

CEO, Meg Lees

The MS Society of SA & NT also receives less funding per client than other MS Societies and their relevant State Governments.

When you include the lack of services (such as respite) in South Australia and the lack of adequate and timely support for essential equipment (a wait for a wheelchair, can be years) you can see why the support for people with disabilities is so often described as inadequate.

There is an urgent need to support people at the time they have an attack (or exacerbation) of their MS. The need for a 'Continuous Care' model of funding is a challenge for the Society and a key focus of our lobbying at State and Federal level.
