In 2026, MDA InnovAITe returns as our monthly online program for kids and teenagers living with neuromuscular conditions. Each session brings together goal check-ins, inspiring guest speakers and time to connect with others in a space where everyone feels understood and supported.

Whilst MDA InnovAITE is typically a yearlong program, there are still 4 sessions available in 2026 at a heavily discounted price. To take advantage of this opportunity, express your interest via the link in our bio. We would love to have you join. 💙

2025, what a year 💙

From Camp MDA and community days fishing by the water and on the court, to launching our new office, Client Care Packs and MDA’s online Book Club — this year was all about connection, support and belonging.

We sought out to support parents and carers, helped our community navigate the NDIS and worked alongside educators to better support children with neuromuscular conditions in the classroom.
Thank you to every member of our community who made this year possible.

Have a wonderful holiday season and we are excited for all that is to come in 2026.

As we head into the holiday break, we want you to know that support is still available. Muscular Dystrophy Australia will be closed from 25 December to 5 January. If you need help during this time, please reach out to one of the support services listed in this post.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call Triple Zero on 000.

🎁 BREAKING: We have incredible news to share! Thanks to a generous group of supporters, EVERY dollar donated to MDA right now will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar.

That means:
💚 $50 becomes $100
💚 $100 becomes $200
💚 $250 becomes $500
💚 $500 becomes $1,000

Your impact is DOUBLED—but only while matching funds last.

⚠️ HERE'S THE CATCH: Matching funds are LIMITED. Once they run out, this opportunity is gone. It could be in hours, days, or weeks—we simply don't know. It's first-come, first-served.

This holiday season, 41,000 Australians are living with neuromuscular conditions. Children like Emma and Ryan need programs that bring connection, confidence, and community.
You've heard their stories. Now we're asking you to act.

With matching funds available, this is the single best time to donate to MDA—but only if you give before the funds run out.

👉 DONATE NOW: https://donations.mda.org.au/xmas-2025/give

✓ Every gift matched (while funds last) ✓ Tax deductible ✓ 100% secure ✓ Instant receipt
Don't leave free money on the table. Double your impact while you still can.

Happy International Volunteer Day! 💙

Our work wouldn't be possible without the heart and dedication of our amazing volunteers. Shout out to Ben (featured above) ⭐ and all our Client Services, administration, program, and activity volunteers who give their time, skills, and passion to support our community with such care.

Special recognition to the MDA Divas, our talented volunteer knitters who lovingly create comforting shawls for people living with neuromuscular conditions. Every stitch is made with warmth and care. 🤍

Every contribution they make creates meaningful ripple effects throughout our community. We thank them for being part of what makes MDA special.

Want to help our volunteer knitters? We'd love donations wool to support them in creating more beautiful shawls for our community. Reach out to find out more.

Happy International Day of People with Disability! 💜

This year's theme — Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress — reflects what our community knows to be true: when we create genuinely inclusive societies, everyone benefits.

Today we celebrate the thousands of Australians living with neuromuscular conditions who prove every day what's possible. Like Fid, pictured on the right who hosts our Wheels & Reels fishing events —one of which is happening right now at Mordialloc Pier!

From powerchair athletes and disability advocates to business owners, artists, and community leaders, our community is advancing social progress by living life fully and authentically.

True inclusion means removing barriers, amplifying voices, and creating opportunities for everyone to participate. Whether it's accessible fishing events, powerchair sports, or community programs, let's build a future where disability representation is the norm.
