About MSA

MSA is still widely misunderstood, even within parts of the medical community, and that gap costs people time they don't have. Our work is about closing it: helping GPs and healthcare professionals recognise the signs sooner, funding the research that's showing real promise, and standing alongside every family navigating a diagnosis.

This page is part of that work. Combat MSA is the flagship movement of Ezard Foundation Ltd, a registered ACNC charity driving advocacy, awareness, research and hope for people living with MSA in Australia. It's one place with clear, reliable information on MSA, built for patients, carers, and anyone who wants to understand it.

Who we are

Combat MSA brings together people living with MSA, their families and carers, healthcare professionals, and researchers, all working toward the same goal: making sure no one navigates MSA without the right information or support.

That's why this page exists. Behind every link and explainer is a community working to make sure what you find here is clear, accurate, and genuinely useful.
