About the organisation
MND Victoria is dedicated to providing the best possible support to people living with motor neurone disease (MND). ‘People living with MND’ includes people who have been diagnosed, families, carers, former carers, friends, workmates, service providers and any other person whose life is, or has been, affected by MND.
MND Victoria was formed in 1981 by a group of volunteers with the strong involvement of people with MND, their families, health professional and other concerned people to address the absence of a coordinated response to MND. It is a state-wide not-for-profit organisation, predominately self- funded situated in Canterbury in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Services to people living with MND and some other unrepresented neurological diseases, that cause disability, are delivered at no cost to the client. They are coordinated and provided through MND Support Services. Volunteers are a vital part of MND Victoria and work across most program areas.
Through a collaborative partnership with MND Tasmania, MND Victoria offers information and advisor services to people in Tasmania impacted by MND.
SERVICE CONTEXT
The focus of all MND Victoria’s Support Services activities is to support people living with MND in their own community or residence of choice; to ensure that the generic service systems of health, disability and aged care are able to meet the needs of people living with MND; that no person with MND has a high level of unmet needs. Support Services aims to act as an interface between people living with MND, the service system and service providers.
The four key MND Victoria Support Services are:
- MND Advisor and Support Coordinator Service: MND Advisors provide support to people living with MND to assist them to live as long as possible with the best quality of life possible.
- Education and Client Support Service: The Client Support and Education service provides comprehensive education and information support to people impacted by MND as well as being the first point of contact for new clients and processing new registrations.
- Equipment Service: MND Victoria has developed an extensive range of assistive technology equipment, available free of charge to people with MND.
- MND Victoria’s work is supported by a network of volunteers. The dedicated assistance that volunteers provide underpins all MND Victoria’s activities.
