Join us for a special episode of the Raw Nerve Podcast as we celebrate the launch of an innovative MS Nurse-led resource designed to support Australians living with multiple sclerosis (MS) amid MS specialist nurse care shortages.
MS Specialist Nurses or MS Nurses are an integral part of the multidisciplinary team of specialist healthcare professionals providing support, education, advice, and care for people with MS and their family and carers.
Developed by MS Australia and MS Nurses Australasia, ’Back on Track’ was likewise developed by expert MS Nurses, drawing on their combined 140 years of experience working in MS, together with lived experience contributions from the MS community.
Today we take you to the MS Plus Wellbeing Centre in Lidcombe, New South Wales, for the 29 May 2026 launch of ‘Back on Track’: a series based on the PhD research of Dr Therese Burke AM.
In a panel session chaired by Katie Snell, MS Australia Policy Manager, you’ll hear from ‘Back on Track’ presenter and project lead, Registered Nurse, MS Specialist Dr Therese Burke AM and her fellow resource presenters, Registered Nurse, MS Specialist Belinda Bardsley and MS Nurse Practitioner, Tim O’Maley. Rounding out the panel is MS Australia Lived Experience Expert Panel (LEEP) member Rachel Fallis.
The launch of ‘Back on Track’ marks World MS Day 2026, with this year’s global campaign once again focused on the theme ‘My MS Diagnosis: Navigating MS together’.
The World MS Day ‘Diagnosis’ theme highlights the importance of timely, supported diagnosis and navigating the critical early stages of life with MS.
With one in three Australians living with MS lacking access to specialist MS Nurse care, this innovative new MS Nurse-led video and audio resource is designed to empower and guide people through their unique MS journey.
