Support for newly diagnosed
MSWA specialises in supporting people living with neurological conditions. We’re dedicated to helping people live the best lives they can after diagnosis.
Receiving news of a diagnosis can be an emotional time for the individual and their family, especially when that diagnosis is a neurological condition. You may be feeling overwhelmed, fearful for what the diagnosis could mean, even relief at finally making sense of your symptoms, or angry this is happening to you. It is important to understand there is no ‘right’ way to feel.
MSWA and our team of 1000 professional staff are skilled, experienced and ready to support you through this journey.
Our website is a helpful starting point for facts about some of the most prevalent neurological conditions along with resources and tools to help you understand more about your condition and deal with your diagnosis.
If you need more information or would like to talk to someone call 08 9365 4888.
