MS Queensland is building the type of accommodation research tells us people like Michael need – specially designed and independent living apartments with 24-hour onsite care. Explore how you can be part of the plan below.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system and may affect the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve.
We exist to help people living with MS to get the best out of life; to advocate for change and to search for a cure.
In Queensland, nobody has a better knowledge of the disease nor assumes a greater role in education and raising awareness of MS than us.
We play a pivotal role in quality control and ensuring that people with MS are having their needs met, and in advocating on their behalf.
Our promise is to put our customers’ wellbeing at the centre of everything we do. We will achieve this by being accessible – there for you when and how you need us, flexible – understanding that situations change, authentic – approachable and real and connecting – giving you the support you need.
