Creating community connections

Since day one, MSWA has understood the immense value of social and community connection. The diagnosis and progression of a neurological condition can be an overwhelming, confronting and isolating experience. Physical therapies and interventions, while necessary, are just one piece of the puzzle. Social interaction, friendships, the opportunity to speak openly with others on the same journey, to know you aren’t alone – these are the pillars of building a thriving, supportive community.

What is Outreach?

Outreach is a connection point: an opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills, achieve your social goals, take part in activities or just to come in and chat with friends over a cuppa, morning tea and a delicious lunch! There is always something fun planned on our Outreach days, from themed celebrations to engaging entertainers. Above all, we work to co-design our programs with our Clients to ensure they meet your needs, wants and goals.

What our Clients love about Outreach

Hi, I'm Sujatha Yvette D'Cruz.

I'm chaotically gregarious and I live with MS. Don't let it stop me.

I swear I walked into here saying, "I don't do art". And I was told, "No, everyone does art." And I was like, "Yeah, nah, I don't do art." They proved me wrong. I do do art and I do pretty good art I think.

Coming in to do artwork, coordination gets your brain ticking, coming up with new ideas or recreating something or even like sort of solving, you know, like you're looking at something, how do we do this? And it's like putting pieces of a puzzle into place.

We're all kind of in a similar situation. So, you never have to explain yourself. If you want to be quiet, they're like, "Fine, you be quiet." You want to cause chaos, you're welcome to cause chaos.

It's the people here as well. The people who work here and other people like me who come in with a disability or a problem and whatever, but everyone sort of leaves their problems out the door. You come in here and it's a different atmosphere altogether because you're just accepted as you are. No explanation needed, which is great. Love it.
