This resource was developed in collaboration with people who have a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and their family and friends.

It has been created for people who are going through the challenging and often emotional time that happens when a person they know is diagnosed with MS.

Having a diagnosis of MS can be life-changing for both the person and for those who care about them. This resource is designed to empower you with the knowledge and strategies to help support you and your person with MS.

Topics include:

  • About MS
  • Finding information
  • Offering support
  • Talking about MS
  • Your support team
  • Looking after yourself
  • MS Plus support

We hope you find this resource useful. If you'd like more information on any of the topics covered, you can call MS Plus on 1800 042 138 or email connect@msplus.org.au

    While MS is a lifelong condition, symptoms can vary widely. This means not everyone with MS will qualify for the NDIS. Eligibility is based on whether MS causes a permanent and substantial impact on daily living. Even if symptoms fluctuate, you may still meet the criteria if the overall effect on function is ongoing and likely to continue. Understanding this distinction can help you decide whether applying is the right step.
