The MND and Me Foundation is committed to ensuring Queenslanders with MND have timely access to much needed equipment. Due to the progressive nature of MND, lengthy waiting periods for equipment are not an option.
The Foundation has established a partnership with Think Mobility in Brisbane, Townsville and Mackay to fill the gap between the prescription of the equipment and its availability via a government agency, NDIS package, Motor Neurone Disease Association of Queensland or direct private purchase.
This short-term rental solution, funded by the MND and Me Foundation, enables people with MND to have quick access to a high-quality equipment pool – designed to maintain or improve life quality.
People living with MND
The MND and Me short-term equipment loan pool can only be accessed through the recommendation of an Allied Health Professional. If you have MND and wish to participate in this program, please ask your occupational therapist or physiotherapist to contact us at [email protected] .
If you do not have access to an Allied Health Professional, please email us at [email protected] and we will attempt to refer you to a health professional within your local community.
