Introducing the Life not Limits Grant!

At MSWA, we recognise the importance of empowering West Aussies living with a neurological condition to focus on life, not limits. 

That’s why we’ve created the Life not Limits Grant in memory of Ros Harman, providing monetary support to help turn your aspirations into action. 

Open to all MSWA Clients, this grant is designed for those who are passionate about pursuing their goals - whether they’re just beginning their journey or have been following their passion for years. 

Select one from the following categories that best resonates with you and your project. 

  • Inspiring Bright Minds

    Empowering individuals to pursue personal growth and lifelong learning through courses, workshops, certifications, and mentoring – unlocking potential and building confidence for the future.

  • Creative Sparks

    Exploring artistic passions such as photography, painting, music and writing as a pathway for self-expression. 

  • Live Well (Health & Wellbeing)

    Supporting physical, mental and emotional wellbeing through activities like sport, fitness programs, mindfulness workshops and therapy sessions.

  • Connect Communities

    Supporting projects that foster social inclusion, strengthen relationships, and encourage meaningful contributions within local communities.

  • Sky’s the Limit 

    For the bold, boundary-pushing ideas that don’t fit a specific category – celebrating innovation, ambition and the freedom to explore new possibilities.

Applications are now open for the Life not Limits grant! 

Submissions close 4pm, 5 December 2025. 

In memory of Ros Harman

A passionate writer, Chair of the MSWA Board and a resilient advocate, Ros was the living embodiment of MSWA’s purpose: to empower people with neurological conditions to live their best lives. 

Diagnosed with MS at 26 and MND in her later years, Ros wasn't one to sit back and let her diagnosis define her. She faced the many challenges that comes with her condition with heart, humour and infectious positivity. Ros was an inspiration to our neuro community. Ros passed away in 2025 at 63 years old. 

I like to imagine a world that was designed with more thought for people with disability - there would be no barriers to stop anyone from doing whatever they wanted or needed to live a fulfilling life.
