MD Foundation Australia
Muscular Dystrophy Foundation Australia (MDF Australia) was established in 2005 to increase cooperation among state-based Muscular Dystrophy associations. MDF Australia took a significant step in May 2008 in appointing its first CEO. Inaugural membership of this representative body included New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania. MDF Australia now comprises 6 states and territories, covering more than 2/3 of Australia’s population. Visit their website.
