Are you newly diagnosed with motor neurone disease? Caring for someone with MND? Would you like to ask an expert panel your questions about MND? MND NSW conducts regular education and information sessions for people living with motor neurone disease, family members, carers and friends.
MND education and information sessions are held throughout the year in Sydney and other areas of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. There is usually no charge to attend an MND NSW education or information session if you are a person living with motor neurone disease, a family member, carer or friend. However, bookings are essential.
