Kind words from our client Carrie-Anne 🧠

"I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the exceptional support and care I recently received from my neurological care nurse, Rachel Barnes.

From our very first interaction, Rachel demonstrated not only outstanding clinical knowledge, but also an extraordinary level of compassion and understanding. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and explain my care plan in a way that made me feel informed and empowered. Her empathy and patience created a safe and encouraging environment during a time when I felt vulnerable and uncertain. Something my family and I hadn't experienced in 15 months.

Most importantly, Rachel gave me something I hadn’t felt in a long time - hope. Through her encouragement and genuine belief in my ability to improve, she helped me see that I can get back to truly living my life, not just surviving from day to day. That shift in perspective has been life-changing.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Rachel as part of my care team, and I believe her dedication and kindness deserve to be recognised. She is a shining example of the impact that exceptional nursing can have on a patient’s journey.

Rachael did more for me in 3 months than the whole medical system did in 18 months, and that's something I wanted to express because it is genuinely life-changing."

Our skilled and caring team of NeuroCare neurological nurses are here to bring compassionate support to those in need across WA. Thank you Rachel for offering such life-changing care to our community.

We welcome the Cook Government’s announcement of the Connected Community School Trial, commencing in 2026. The $21 million initiative falls under the Better and Fairer Schools Agreement to integrate community, health and social services into four local public schools in Gosnells, Clarkson, Girrawheen and Roebourne. This is a visionary step with real potential to improve outcomes for children and young people with neurological conditions through accessible, integrated and targeted support.

Neurological Council CEO, Etta Palumbo, met with Nicola Bird, Principal Policy Advisor to the Minister for Education and Early Childhood, last week to discuss the importance of early intervention and the vital role schools play in the lives of children and young people with neurological conditions, and their families. We look forward to building on this timely dialogue with the Department of Education.

Meanwhile, Etta and our NeuroKids Paediatric Community Neurological Nurses will visit schools and services in Karratha, Roebourne and Port Hedland from 22–25 September to increase awareness of brain and nervous system disorders and improve access to diagnosis, treatment, care and support.

After two years of isolation following his MND diagnosis, Roy’s life changed when he connected with Deb, one of our Community Neurological Nurses.

With her support — and a powerful shift in mindset — Roy found purpose, connection and joy again. He now shares his story to remind others that accepting help can be the start of truly living.

It's great to see our Community Neurological Nurse, Tania Hughes, mentioned in the Albany Advertiser following the Denmark–Walpole Football Club’s “Big Freeze” fundraiser for Parkinson’s WA.

As Tania has noted, the Great Southern has a notable cluster of Parkinson’s cases, which makes local fundraising efforts like this even more impactful. Events like the “Big Freeze” not only raise vital funds but also show people living with Parkinson’s that their community stands beside them. 💜

A big thank you to the Denmark–Walpole Football Club and all involved. https://www.albanyadvertiser.com.au/news/albany-advertiser/denmark-walpole-football-club-raises-10000-for-parkinsons-wa-as-supporters-splash-into-icy-dunk-tank--c-19571500

We were honoured to have Mayor Greg Stocks open our NeuroKids event in Albany, sharing personal reflections on the emotional strain of navigating complex systems when a neurological condition affects a family — and the vital role of community-based services like NeuroKids and NeuroCare.

The event brought together local health, education and community professionals to explore how our Community Neurological Nurses support children and families living with neurological symptoms — no formal diagnosis required.

Attendees also heard from our CEO Etta Palumbo, Community Neurological Nurses Tania Hughes and Charlotte Jolley, and guest speaker Christine Baker, Community Services Manager at Neuromuscular WA.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in strengthening local referral pathways, building collaborative networks, and working towards better access to care, closer to home.

1 in 3 Australian women are currently living with migraine, according to new national research by Jean Hailes for Women’s Health and Migraine and Headache Australia.

🧠 Migraine is now recognised as the leading cause of disability worldwide for women aged 18 to 49 — yet it often goes under-recognised and under-supported.

🔹 It affects 4.9 million Australians
🔹 It costs the economy an estimated $35.7 billion annually
🔹 Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, light sensitivity and brain fog
🔹 There is no cure — but treatment and support are available

These findings reinforce the importance of the Neurological Council’s new Nurse Practitioner-led Headache & Migraine Clinic in recognising and treating migraine as a serious neurological condition.

💬 Help is available.
✔ Bulk billed
✔ Self-referral available
✔ TeleNurse support

Our Story

The Neurological Council of WA (NCWA) was founded in July 1992 at 320 Rokeby Road Subiaco. The Council and several affiliated organisations located there, pooled together resources and knowledge to promote the common and individual goals of their organisations within the neurological sector. The NCWA continues to work with its member organisations to promote mutual needs and interests. The mission of the Neurological Council of WA is;

“To work in partnership with government and non-government organisations to ensure appropriate services are accessible for all people with neurological conditions.”

In July 2002, the NCWA and sixteen affiliated organisations moved into the new, purpose-built Lotteries building complex known as The Niche, housed in the area known as the Centre for Neurological Support (CNS). The NCWA manages the tenancies of the members housed at The Centre for Neurological Support.

The NCWA identified there were many neurological conditions that did not have a specialist organization to offer supports. After securing funding in 1995, the NCWA expanded its services to people with neurological conditions and their carers in the Perth metropolitan area. In 2001, the Community Neurological Nurse service was introduced in some regional areas of WA with this service growing to now cover the Perth Metro, South West, Great Southern and Mid West (this service is now known as Neurocare).
