Welcome to the WA Chapter of the AMDF


The Western Australia branch of the AMDF launched in May 2010, and works closely with the National group to achieve its aim of providing research, education and support for mito sufferers and their families in WA, and throughout Australia and the world.

Welcome to AMDF - WA.


The board of the AMDF is based in Sydney and a WA chapter of the AMDF was established in May 2010.


The initiative for the WA chapter was driven by Penny Andrews who has four children, two of whom have a genetic mitochondrial disorder, Juvenile Leigh’s Disease. This is a rare disorder that affects both boys in the family – William is 10 and Thomas is just six years old.



WA Board Members Penny Andrews and Dr Phillipa Lamont, the Director of the Neurogenetic Unit at Royal Perth Hospital and paediatric neurologist at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, have been appointed to the AMDF National Board.

The WA AMDF Stay In Bed Day is coming up soon. Learn more and see all our events, here.
