About Us

MS Waikato provides a service that is driven by the needs of people within our community, support us today to enable us to continue our vital work.

Being diagnosed with a neurological condition is life changing and can be overwhelming. For most people, their knowledge of the condition is limited, so the provision of support and education is essential to enable them to live as independently and participate in life as much as possible.

MS Waikato supports our clients as and when required, travelling throughout the Greater Waikato and Coromandel regions. Sometimes this is achieved through being an advocate with other agencies. Through these services it is not only the client who benefits but also their families/whanau, friends, and wider society.

Our team work closely with people who are newly diagnosed, supporting them with reliable, robust, and up to date information together with symptom management strategies for themselves and their family. This is undertaken as soon as possible after a diagnosis and we continue with information and education whenever it is needed. We also work hard to support our members when they are unwell, we are often the link between them, the hospital and community services, offering suggestions and pathways for necessary and specific care and support.
