Our dedication to research

Over the past decade, MSWA lotteries and fundraising activities have contributed over $43 million to research aimed at uncovering the causes, improving treatments, and ultimately finding a cure for multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions.

Pioneering progress, MSWA proudly stands as the primary funder for the groundbreaking adaptive clinical trial, PLATYPUS. 

By purchasing an MSWA Multi-Choice Raffle ticket, you’re directly supporting the development, construction, and operation of MSWA’s high support accommodation facilities - including the state-of-the-art MSWA Butler precinct, which provides residents access to onsite physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, speech pathology, dietetics, counselling, social welfare services and peer group sessions.

Our stories

At MSWA, we are proud to support thousands of West Aussies living with neurological conditions.

Our community generously share their stories to inspire others and shine a light on what it is like to live with a neurological condition. Whilst their journeys involve challenges, it is through determination, humour and support that they are living meaningful and positive lives.

Hank Gidney

Hank finds the MSWA Counselling team’s meditation and mindfulness practices help quiet his MS symptoms, allowing his inner inquisitive creative to rise above the ‘MS noise’.
