The Australian Multiple Sclerosis Longitudinal Study (AMSLS) has been running for over 20 years. It’s a collaborative research initiative between Menzies Institute for Medical Research and MS Australia, collecting real-world data from Australians living with MS. This valuable data helps inform policy decisions and guides MS-related medical and support services—driving positive change and improving lives.
To maximise its impact, the AMSLS needs as many participants as possible.
