Family and Carer Information
MS Australia - ACT/NSW/VIC acknowledges that Carers and their families play a vital role in society through the important commitment they make to the people they are caring for. We understand that carer relationships should be supported so the health and well being of the carer are sustained. In each unique situation they provide the necessary care and assistance to a family member, a friend, a person with whom they have a strong relationship to support and enhance that person's lifestyle.
This section has been designed to assist you as a family or carer for someone who has MS. We've included many useful topics of discussion as well as direct links to other resources that may be of assistance to you and help you connect with the right people.
