The Australian Government is developing a Charter of Aged Care rights and you can comment on the draft Charter before 10 October 2018. The Charter will provide protection for the rights of aged care consumers. Make sure the MND voice is heard so people with MND aged 65 years and over get the care and support they need and deserve.

A big thank you to Alana Sargood and the wonderful teachers from Bowral High School who participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge raising over $2700 for MND NSW. 

About one out of every ten people with MND will receive a diagnosis of ‘motor neurone disease with frontotemporal dementia' or MND/FTD. Often the symptoms of dementia precede the motor symptoms, sometimes by a number of years. The 11th International Conference on Frontotemporal Dementias (ICFTD) is on in Sydney during November and running concurrently with the ICFTD 2018 program will be a specialist day on Tuesday 13 November focused on issues and challenges for carers.
