A neurologist is a specialist physician who diagnoses and treats conditions of the brain, spinal cord and nerves.
If MND is suspected, you will need a referral from your GP to see a neurologist. Only a neurologist can diagnose MND.
The diagnosis of motor neurone disease (MND) can be difficult and lengthy, so it is important to access a neurologist who has developed expertise in assessing and managing people with the disease.
The list below of Australian-based neurologists, organised alphabetically under state and public/private sector, all have recognised expertise in MND.
This list is not exhaustive and only includes neurologists known to MND Australia. We welcome suggestions for new entries or notification if any contact details below have changed, by emailing us at info@mndaustralia.org.au
