HELPING YOU NAVIGATE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS IN GEELONG AND BEYOND
About
The MS Collective is a community-driven project designed to make it easier for people diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the Geelong region to access the support and information they need.
We understand that a diagnosis of MS can be overwhelming, and while there are many excellent services and resources available, knowing where to start or how to find what's relevant locally can be a major challenge.
The MS Collective aims to bridge that gap.
We’re creating a website that brings together existing information, services and supports, including local providers, national organisations, lived experience insights, and relevant community groups – in one accessible, easy-to-navigate platform.
This project is built in consultation with people living with MS in the region and is guided by their input, experiences and needs.
If you'd like to learn more or contribute resources, feel free to get in touch with us.

Meet the Founder,
Ainsley Ryan
Four years ago, everything changed with four words:
‘It’s definitely Multiple Sclerosis.’
After years of unexplained symptoms and months of testing, there was finally an answer, but also the beginning of a life no one plans for. In the days and weeks after, I desperately wanted knowledge, comfort and access to resources as I scrolled my phone at 3am.
I’ve spent the following years finding services in the community and connecting with people with MS. That experience has led to a simple goal – creating a safe space for others facing the same diagnosis.
That’s why I'm building The MS Collective.
The MS Collective is a platform designed to bring together trusted information, services, and support in one place in an accessible, easy-to-navigate way.
