Advance is the bi-annual newsletter of MND Research Australia - the research arm of MND Australia.

Following the Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions that were in place during 2020 and 2021, the NSW Government introduced the Dine & Discover and the Stay vouchers to help local businesses by encouraging the community to support entertainment and recreation businesses, including cultural institutions, live music, arts venues, and accommodation providers.

As we approach the end of Pride Month, a month dedicated to the uplifting of LGBTQ voices, celebration of LGBTQ culture and the support of LGBTQ rights, MND NSW would like to share some resources that may be useful for our community members.

This week is National Palliative Care Week (NPCW) which aims to raise awareness and understanding of palliative care in Australian communities.

The theme of this year’s National Palliative Care Week (NPCW); ‘Palliative Care It’s your right’, reinforces that palliative care is a universal human right and that all Australians should have access to high-quality palliative care when and where they need it.

MiNDAUS is a partnership of Australian MND researchers, clinicians and organisations, which aims to develop a nationally co-ordinated and patient-centred approach to MND research, care and policy development.
