MND Australia

Federal Election Statement released

Our Federal Election Statement for the May 2022 election outlines three key commitments we're seeking to improve the lives of people living with MND. 

We're urging all candidates to commit to:

  1. End age discrimination in provision of disability supports and services for people with MND
  2. Ensure the NDIS is not weakened
  3. Fast-track access to effective novel therapies for MND

During the election campaign we'll be writing to each candidate to request their support for each of the three commitments and requesting meetings to discuss the issues in further detail. You can get behind our campaign by writing, calling or organising a meeting with your local candidates and encouraging them to pledge their support. We have a suite of resources at mndaustralia.org.au/election22 to assist with communicating these three key issues with candidates.
