World MS Day 2025

World MS Day takes each year on May 30, and it’s a special moment for our global community to come together, share stories, and shine a light on the realities of what it’s like to live with MS.

This year’s theme is My MS Diagnosis, focuses on the journey to finding answers. It’s about recognising the challenges, delays, and obstacles people often face when navigating their diagnosis – and highlighting just how important clarity and support are at every step.

While World MS Day is officially marked on Friday 30 May, we have arranged virtual and physical events and activities across Queensland to take place throughout May.

Below we’ve listed some of the many ways for you to get involved and get connected this year!

World MS Day Webinar

We’ll also answer your questions around how to exercise when fatigued, managing muscle tremors, the benefits of aqua aerobics, and why having a knowledgeable Allied Health team trained specifically in MS and neurological conditions is so important.
