About Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition where the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibres, causing communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body. MS can cause fatigue, mobility issues, vision problems, pain, and cognitive changes. The NDIS provides support for the functional impact of MS, while the health system manages medical treatment.

Key NDIS supports for multiple sclerosis

NDIS supports for MS include physiotherapy for mobility and strength, occupational therapy for energy conservation and daily living strategies, support workers for personal care and fatigue management, assistive technology (mobility aids, home modifications), community nursing for complex health needs, and transport assistance for appointment access.
