Services Overview
Our services
Muscular Dystrophy Queensland (MDQ) is the only Queensland organisation dedicated to people who live with muscular dystrophy and similar conditions and their families, throughout all of their lives.
As we are also a small, specialist organisation which relies on the wonderful financial support of our donors, supporters and other stakeholders, we are able to provide some free services to our clients. We also welcome customers who wish to employ us for services under their NDIS Plan or from any other source of funding.
