Every ticket you buy helps transform lives
It also contributes to vital research that focuses on finding causes, improving treatments and ultimately discovering a cure for MS and other neurological conditions.
Significant advancements are being made every year, and the potential for further breakthroughs is high. Innovative research is making a measurable and positive difference for people with MS – it’s moving the dial.
Australia is one of the very best places in the world to be if you are living with multiple sclerosis (MS)... and that's thanks to you and every ticket you buy.
We’re moving the dial on… mortality
In 1979, the mortality rates for Australians with MS was twice that of the general population. The mortality rate for Australians with MS is now the same as the general population.
We’re moving the dial on… access to treatments
When comparing Australians and New Zealanders with MS, where populations are similar on genetic, environmental and economic factors, Australians with MS have better access to treatments. While up to 93% of Australians with MS have received treatment, only around 50% of New Zealanders with MS have had the same access.
We’re moving the dial on… quality of life
Better access to treatments has resulted in improved quality of life, including enhanced mobility, increased independence in self-care and daily activities, and reduced levels of pain, discomfort, anxiety, and depression.
