MSL's Office closure in response to COVID-19
You will be aware that State and Federal governments are implementing additional restrictions to minimise risk of coronavirus (COVID-19) spread in Australia. This includes the closure of schools and non-essential services in some States.
Accordingly based on this advice, Multiple Sclerosis Limited (MSL) has decided to close its offices and suspend all face-to-face appointments until further notice.
While a difficult decision to make, I am confident this is an important step towards minimising risk and protecting the health of clients, staff, supporters and the broader MS community.
Please be assured that we will, to the best of our ability, do our best to keep providing services.
Services available as per usual
Current services will be provided online or by phone to ensure the safety of our staff, clients and participants. This includes MS Connect, webinars, employment support, allied health support, and NDIS support coordinator.
If you require support or would like more information about services available, contact us on 1800 042 138 or msconnect@ms.org.au
If you have urgent allied health needs or would like to join online group support and activities, please contact MS Connect to discuss the options available to you.
MSL is working hard to create alternative ways to deliver services; we will be in touch with you with alternative service options as soon as they are available.
We will keep you updated during this time
We know how important it is to get timely and trusted information to help you manage your health in relation to coronavirus (COVID-19).
We are following advice from state and federal Government health professionals and working closely with MS organisations to ensure you have up-to-date information that is relevant to you.
There is a dedicated page on our website, which is monitored daily, to share the latest COVID-19 advice and information with you:

We will continue to review our position and reconsider our options over the coming weeks, and to ensure we can protect the health and wellbeing of our clients, staff, volunteers, our families and supporters.
All the best,
John Blewonski
Chief Executive Officer
