ME/CFS Australia (Victoria) is a not-for-profit public benevolent institution dedicated to providing information, support and advocacy for those who are debilitated by ME/CFS. The Society receives very little funding and relies upon membership contributions and donations to remain operating.

History
Formed in 1981 the Society was initially known as ANZMES (Australian and New Zealand Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Society). The office was then located in Moonee Ponds and the small but dedicated team of volunteers produced a small newsletter four times a year. The Society moved to Burwood in 1991 and has gradually become bigger and more well known. With now well over 1000 members, the society contines to grow and provide information, support and advocacy to the Victorian community.

Vision & Mission
The Society’s vision is to be an organisation which has a significant and positive influence on the well-being of people affected by ME/CFS. The Society’s mission is to provide support, information and advocacy for people affected by ME/CFS and to advance the interests and wellbeing of people with this disorder.
