Our first MS – Get a Head Start program here at Caulfield Hospital was a great success and we are planning on running the program again next year. The feedback from the first group of 4 participants was overwhelmingly positive, including one participant telling us in the final session that it was ‘the best course she had ever done’.

Lauren, Physiotherapist

This program has been a real game changer for our clients with MS and for the professional development of our staff.
