For over 30 years MDTasmania has been helping people with a muscular dystrophy cope with their condition through funding assistance where possible for equipment, information, advocacy and referral to appropriate professionals and services.
In general MDTasmania will try to meet the high priority needs of as many individuals as possible rather than all the needs of a few.
