About Us

For over 30 years, the Neurological Council of WA has served as the peak body and connecting voice for the Western Australian neurological community, working to improve the health, wellbeing and lives of all people affected by neurological conditions. We do this through a combination of community-based services, education, advocacy, and sector engagement.

Neurological conditions—disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system—are now the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide, placing immense pressure on health, disability and aged care systems. These conditions range from common to rare and include stroke, migraine, epilepsy, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, motor neurone disease, brain tumours, meningitis, functional neurological disorder, acquired brain injury and over 600 others. Many are preventable, and through our work we aim to reduce the personal, social and economic impacts of these conditions across our diverse member and client base.

Services and Support

We offer services and support to individuals, families and carers across metropolitan and regional WA. Through nurse-led care, health system navigation and peer support, we help people understand their condition, access the right services and stay connected in their communities.

Our frontline services include NeuroCare for adults, NeuroKids for children and adolescents, our Nurse-Practitioner led Headache & Migraine Clinic and NeuFriends peer support groups. These services are delivered by our team of Community Neurological Nurses and supported by our statewide TeleNurse line — providing trusted advice, continuity of care and connection to community.

Uniting neurological groups

Alongside this community support, we also provide leadership for the broader neurological sector in Western Australia — connecting organisations, clinicians and decision-makers to improve understanding, collaboration and outcomes across the system. These efforts complement our direct work with individuals and families, creating a stronger, more coordinated response to the rising burden of neurological conditions.

The Neurological Council is also the lead tenant of the Centre for Neurological Support, and co-managing tenant of The Niche Lotteries House, located on the QEII Medical Campus in Nedlands. The Niche is home to a range of community neurological organisations and is a key touchpoint for the neurological community.
