Welcome

Meniere’s Australia (MA) is a national non-profit, non-government organisation that aims to promote and facilitate the development of Australia-wide services and support for those living with Meniere’s disease and other vestibular conditions. Meniere's disease is a chronic, incurable condition of the inner ear that produces a range of debilitating side-effects in affected individuals.

Meniere’s Australia offers a national forum for health professionals, individuals experiencing Menieres and other vestibular conditions, funding bodies and interested individuals to share information and resources. We welcome your involvement & support (see Membership).

Information and Support Services

The Meniere's Resource and Information Centre maintains an extensive collection of information resources on Meniere's disease and related topics. These include information sheets, books, audio tapes, brochures, newsletters and videos.

One of the most constructive things you can do if diagnosed with Meniere's is to learn as much as you can about the disease and the range of treatments available for managing the condition. Family, friends and health professionals can provide more effective support if they too understand Meniere's and the lifestyle changes you may need to make in order to manage the condition.

Our free information packs provide a good starting point for finding out more about Meniere's. If you opt to join MA we also offer a complimentary membership pack of information resources. MA members can also borrow resources from our library either in person or via post.

About Meniere's Disease
Meniere’s disease is a condition in which there is an excess of fluid in the inner ear. The excess fluid disturbs the ear’s balance and hearing mechanisms and produces a range of symptoms.
About MA Support Services
People with Meniere's may find that the symptoms they experience create problems for them in their work, family and social lives resulting in a loss of confidence and independence. Many experience feelings of anger, frustration, depression and isolation.
About MA
The Vision of Meniere’s Australia is that all Australians with Meniere’s disease and other vestibular conditions will receive and have equal access to support services, information and personal support irrespective of geographical location.
