✨GERALDTON EVENT POSTPONED✨

Unfortunately, we’ve hit an unexpected hurdle for our Geraldton NeuFriends end-of-year celebration, which was scheduled for this Wednesday, 10th December.

As the lift at Lotteries House is currently out of service, access to the conference room will sadly not be possible for many of our members. In light of this, we have cancelled this week's event - however, our Geraldton community won't be missing out!

We'll be hosting a celebration in January instead, so we can still share laughter, stories, and festive cheer together – just a little later than planned.

📆 Wednesday, 14th January
🕙 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
🏠 Lotteries House Geraldton (Conference Room)
👋RSVP through the link in our bio or call (08) 6285 3800

Please mark your calendars – it’s going to be a wonderful way to kick off the New Year together!

Thank you for your understanding, and we’re truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We appreciate your support and can’t wait to celebrate with you in the New Year 🎉

Andrea's story of living with Functional Neurological Disorder in one of practicality, humour and a healthy dose of grit. Andrea knows that FND is complex, involving both the brain and body in ways that science is still uncovering: “There’s no single cure, so you build your supports. NeuroCare helped me do that, and NeuFriends helped me feel less alone.”

🔗Read her full story here: https://ow.ly/mJVI50XAsvt

As Andrea mentions, our team of NeuroCare Community Neurological Nurses offer in-person home visits, which help us identify ways to optimise your living space for safety and gain a deeper understanding of how your condition is impacting your lifestyle. This allows our nurses to provide the best care and refer you to the right services and supports for your situation.

NeuroCare in-home visits are available across the Perth Metropolitan, South West, Great Southern, Mid West, Peel and Wheatbelt regions of Western Australia.

We also undertake planned regional visits to rural and remote areas - call us on (08) 6285 3800 for our schedule or to find out more 📞

This International Volunteer Day, we wanted to recognise our incredible volunteer Belinda, who has been involved in supporting our award-winning Geraldton NeuFriends Neurological Support Group for the last 12 months 👏✨

Despite leading a very active and busy life spending time with her children and grandchildren and keeping up with her hobbies, Belinda goes above and beyond in her role as a NeuFriends volunteer and has been an incredible asset to the Geraldton group. Her natural rapport with our group attendees, no doubt helped by her background in aged care, shines through in everything she does!

Belinda's dedication has had a significant contribution to the success of Geraldton NeuFriends, which won the WA Regional Changemakers Award last month 🌟

Every act of volunteering makes a difference. This year’s International Volunteer Day theme, “Every Contribution Matters,” is a powerful reminder that volunteers like Belinda are the backbone of our community. Their time, energy, and compassion create lasting impact - and every single effort counts.

If you’d like to become a NeuFriends volunteer, we’d love to hear from you! Email us at hello@ncwa.com.au to find out how you can get involved. 💙

Celebrating International Volunteer Day 2025 🎉

Observed each year on 5 December, this year’s theme — “Every Contribution Matters” — highlights the power of collective action and reminds us that every act of volunteering, big or small, helps build a stronger and more connected world.

On the eve of International Volunteers Day, we had the privilege of hosting our annual brunch, bringing together an inspiring group of volunteers, volunteer-run groups and community not-for-profit organisations who contribute immense social and economic value, and create hope, meaningful connections and real change every day. This event was proudly supported by the WA Department of Communities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to share their volunteering stories and celebrate our volunteers, your impact reaches far beyond the tasks you complete. We’re grateful for all you do for our neurological communities.

🌏 Today is the International Day of People with Disability – a day to recognise the leadership, insight and lived experience of people living with disability across Western Australia.

The 2025 theme, “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress,” reflects what matters most: inclusion grows when you have clear information, coordinated support and the chance to stay connected.

If you’re living with a neurological condition or symptoms, you’re not alone. Through programs like NeuroCare, NeuroKids and NeuFriends, we’re here to help you understand your condition, navigate complex systems and find local support. Every conversation brings us closer to a more inclusive WA – one relationshipInternational Day of People with Disability - Australiaommunity where people with disability feel informed, supported and connected. Together, we can make inclusion real.

What a wonderful festive celebration with our Albany NeuFriends Support Group today! 🌟

From sharing delicious plates to hearing from The City of Albany Mayor Greg Stocks about upcoming local events, it was a morning filled with connection and care. Our Community Neurological Nurses Charlotte and Tania also shared practical tips for looking after our brain health during the holidays - a timely reminder as the season gets busy.

Gatherings like this remind us how meaningful it is to stay connected and support one another - not just during the festive season, but all year round.

A big thank you to all who attended and made this such a special event 👏✨

25/11/2025

Caring for a loved one with a neurological condition is a significant act of support and commitment, but it can also involve ongoing challenges, uncertainty and emotional strain. That's why self-care is so important for carers - and here are some ways that you can take care of yourself, so you can take care of others 💙

🦺 Apply OHS principles at home – learn manual handling, don’t put yourself or your loved one at risk of harm
🥗Take care of your health - get enough sleep, exercise, and nutritious food
🧘‍♂️Make time for yourself - rest, recharge, and enjoy your hobbies
🩺Book and attend your own routine GP, specialist, dental and other health screening and care appointments - ensure you don’t neglect your own medical needs and treat emerging health issues promptly.
🤝Reach out for support - ask for help if you’re overwhelmed or burnt out
✨Don’t hesitate to use respite care — even short breaks can make a big difference.

Be realistic about what you can do. Everyone has limited time and energy in a day, yet the role of an unpaid carer often has no bounds. Focus on what is important and what you achieved. Don’t beat yourself up about what you didn’t do or could have done.

At the Neurological Council of WA, our services are designed to empower both individuals and those who look after them — because we know that informed, supported carers make a world of difference.

🧠Call 1800 645 771 today to learn more about our NeuroCare and NeuroKids services and find your local NeuFriends neurological peer support group, or visit us online at ncwa.com.au.

22/11/2025

Neurological conditions are now the leading cause of disability worldwide and the second leading cause of death, and impact an estimated one in four people in Australia.

These conditions affect the nervous system - including the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system or CNS), and the network of nerves throughout the body (peripheral nervous system or PNS). They can impact movement, thinking, behaviour, communication, and sensation. They can also involve the autonomic nervous system, as in dysautonomia - a group of disorders that interfere with automatic body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature control.

From stroke and migraine to Parkinson’s and over 600 other neurological conditions, all have the potential to significantly affect a person’s health, independence, and quality of life. Neurological conditions often go undiagnosed or misunderstood, and early recognition and support can make a huge difference.

At the Neurological Council, we aim to reduce the personal, social and economic impacts of these conditions within the WA community.

Through our nurse-led care, health navigation, and peer support, we help people understand their condition, access the right services, and stay connected. Our programs - NeuroCare, NeuroKids, Headache & Migraine Clinic, and NeuFriends - are here to make a difference 💙

If you or someone you know is living with a neurological condition and would like access to free support, call our TeleNurse Helpline on 1800 645 771.

Our Story

The Neurological Council of WA (NCWA) was founded in July 1992 at 320 Rokeby Road Subiaco. The Council and several affiliated organisations located there, pooled together resources and knowledge to promote the common and individual goals of their organisations within the neurological sector. The NCWA continues to work with its member organisations to promote mutual needs and interests. The mission of the Neurological Council of WA is;

“To work in partnership with government and non-government organisations to ensure appropriate services are accessible for all people with neurological conditions.”

In July 2002, the NCWA and sixteen affiliated organisations moved into the new, purpose-built Lotteries building complex known as The Niche, housed in the area known as the Centre for Neurological Support (CNS). The NCWA manages the tenancies of the members housed at The Centre for Neurological Support.

The NCWA identified there were many neurological conditions that did not have a specialist organization to offer supports. After securing funding in 1995, the NCWA expanded its services to people with neurological conditions and their carers in the Perth metropolitan area. In 2001, the Community Neurological Nurse service was introduced in some regional areas of WA with this service growing to now cover the Perth Metro, South West, Great Southern and Mid West (this service is now known as Neurocare).
