Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Care in Melbourne
Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) brings unique challenges that can affect mobility, independence, and daily wellbeing.

At Openhearted Support, we provide NDIS-registered multiple sclerosis care services to participants across Melbourne and surrounding areas. Our goal is simple: to support individuals with MS to live with dignity, comfort, and as much independence as possible.

Whether you need daily personal care, complex medical support, or assistance to stay active in your community, our compassionate team is here every step of the way.

Understanding Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic neurological condition that affects the central nervous system. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerves, causing communication problems between the brain and body.

Common symptoms may include:

  • Fatigue and reduced energy
  • Difficulty walking or balancing
  • Muscle weakness or spasms
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Vision problems
  • Speech and swallowing difficulties
  • Cognitive changes (memory, concentration, or processing)

    • Because MS symptoms vary greatly between individuals and can change over time, flexible and tailored care is essential.

    Who Needs MS Care?

    People living with Multiple Sclerosis may require different levels of support depending on the stage and progression of their condition. Support needs may include:

  • Daily personal care (showering, dressing, grooming)
  • Mobility assistance (wheelchairs, walkers, hoists)
  • Home modifications (ramps, accessible bathrooms)
  • Complex care (catheter/stoma care, medication support)
  • Therapy support (physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy)
  • Transport and community participation
  • Respite care for families and carers
