Funds raised for MND at enchanted garden in Perth
Crucial funds helping to fight Motor Neurone Disease were raised at this year's Unite Against MND Ball that saw the Perth Convention Centre transformed into an enchanted garden.
Guests gathered in the candlelit ballroom to support the fight against MND, a disease that claims the lives of two Australians every day, while two others are newly diagnosed.
The event featured live aerialists, roaming performances, exquisite dining, and powerful speeches.
The evening raised vital funds, enabling the MND Association of WA to continue providing person-centred support, guidance, and education programs for healthcare professionals, carers, and those affected by MND.
Keynote speaker Professor Merrilee Needham emphasised the significance of the event, saying: 'We are not here just to raise funds, but to raise hope.'
Funds raised throughout the night directly supported MND WA's critical services.

Medicare digital services available on MyGov app
Millions of Australians can now access Medicare's digital services through the myGov app without the need to use the Express Plus Medicare app. MyGov has undergone improvements after an audit found people needed multiple apps to access government services. Government apps will now be consolidated into myGov to simplify the way people can access its services. Services Australia general manager Hank Jongen said the enhancements made it simpler and safer to manage government services online. 'If you need to make or track a Medicare claim, check your immunisation history, request a Medicare card or update your organ and tissue donation preferences, the myGov app is the only app you need,' he said. 'Medicare services in the myGov app have a familiar look and feel and you can add your digital Medicare and organ donor cards to the myGov app wallet.' Mr Jongen said myGov had passkeys, digital ID and a security review feature to help keep personal information safe from scammers. The Express Plus Medicare app will no longer be available in app stores from Friday, before it is retired on November 1. People who have the app can continue to use it until then.
