Capital Region Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular Dystrophy In Canberra Has Not Had A Lot Of Support Over The Years.

Capital Region Muscular Dystrophy has been formed to address the lack of help and information on neuromuscular conditions like muscular dystrophy in Canberra and surrounding regions. CRMD is a not for profit, registered charity working to make everyday life easier for anyone with one of the many forms of muscular dystrophy, their families and carers. We are happy to help other neuromuscular conditions in Canberra region where we can.

CRMD’s work includes the provision of medical equipment where the NDIS or ACT Government do not, or there is a delay in obtaining equipment. CRMD can also assist with advocacy, support and advice. CRMD is a voluntary group. We do not offer professional advice or services but we do have a strong collective base of life experience and a peer support program from which to draw on for advice or assistance. We may not always know the answer but we will work with you to get it and do whatever we can to help.

CRMD Operates Several Community Programs:

The Lifestyle and Exercise Program (LEEP) provides targeted exercise sessions and discussion sessions on all aspects of a healthy lifestyle with muscular dystrophy.
The school sports program aims to provide avenues for kids living with muscular dystrophy to play mainstream sport at school.
In association with Capital Football, CRMD supports the Canberra United Power Soccer team.

We're Part of a Wider Community

CRMD is a member of the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, the national body representing muscular dystrophy associations across Australia. This provides access to a wide range of resources from which to draw.

The principle MDF information source is The Loop, neuromuscular community information resource, www.theloopcommunity.org

This site is designed to provide information on muscular dystrophy conditions, management of health and wellbeing, access to research and connection to other people with similar conditions to share experiences and provide support. It also provides link to other useful websites and organisations.

CRMD is a voluntary group, funded by donations and our fund raising events. We welcome any support for our cause and would gladly discuss any suggestions or ideas you might have to support us.
