We are deeply saddened to learn that MS Society South Australia & Northern Territory (MS SA&NT) has entered into voluntary administration.
Our immediate concerns are for people living with MS, families and carers who rely on the services provided by MS SA&NT, as well as the dedicated staff who have contributed so much to supporting people living with MS in our communities.
MS SA&NT is a separate Member Organisation, and its decision to move into voluntary administration does not affect MS Australia or the capacity of our other state Member Organisations to meet the needs of their clients, supporters and funders.
MS Australia will work closely with our MS Member Organisations, sector partners and government to assess the situation and determine how best to facilitate the continuation of services in South Australia and the Northern Territory. This decision has no impact on the operation of the other MS organisations.
Our priority is to ensure that people living with MS, their families and carers continue to have access to the care and support that is so important in daily life.
This situation highlights the urgent need for stronger, sustainable funding and policy settings so disability and health providers can remain viable and continue to deliver essential supports in our communities.
We will provide updates as soon as possible.
