Palliative care is a critical component of management for people with motor neurone disease (MND), a progressive and life-limiting condition. Early integration of palliative care supports proactive symptom management (including dyspnoea, dysphagia, pain, andanxiety), facilitates advance care planning, and addresses psychosocial and family needs.

General practitioners play a key role in coordinating multidisciplinary care, initiating timely conversations about goals of care, and supporting decisions around interventions. A community-focused approach enables many people with MND to remain at home for as longas possible, with care aligned to their preferences, maintaining dignity and quality of life throughout the illness trajectory.
