MS Queensland

What MS Queensland does

MS Queensland is a Queensland-based not-for-profit organization founded in 1959 that delivers comprehensive support services for people living with neurological conditions, anchored in its historical focus on multiple sclerosis. The organization serves an addressable population of approximately 5,500 Queenslanders living with MS and the broader 1.3 million Queenslanders affected by neurological conditions, organized around four service pillars: information and advice (NeuroAssist InfoLine answering 10,955 calls, MS Nurse Advisory, support groups, webinars), allied health services (physiotherapy, exercise physiology, occupational therapy, continence nursing), NDIS services (support coordination, access support, home and community care, employment services), and Specialist Disability Accommodation with 24/7 Supported Independent Living across at least eight Queensland locations (Hope Island, Albany Creek, Toowoomba Newtown, Toowoomba South, Goodna, Caboolture, Southport, Springfield).

The business model operates through diversified revenue streams. The primary commercial channel is NDIS-funded service delivery as a registered NDIS provider, with pricing following the NDIS Price Guide and billing tied to individual participant plans. Charitable fundraising supplements operating revenue through individual donations, regular giving programs, workplace giving, tribute donations, gifts in wills/bequests, and community events. MS Lotteries operates a separate fundraising program at msqlotteries.com.au with capped 10,000-ticket draws for luxury prize packages. Underlying technology consists of a telehealth video consultation platform for support coordination and physiotherapy delivery, with digital infrastructure including the Funraisin fundraising platform, Google Analytics, and Cloudflare security.

With 101-250 employees and headquarters at the Neuro Wellness Hub in Milton, QLD, MS Queensland operates as the peak body for MS in Queensland under affiliation with MS Australia. The organization holds NDIS Practice Standards compliance, Privacy Act 1988 compliance, and registered NDIS/DNIS provider certifications, and engages in multi-channel community-led go-to-market through annual fundraising events (MS Brissie to the Bay, MS Moonlight Walk, MS Super Splash, MS Readathon), social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube), webinars, and email communications.
