ME/CFS Society WA is working hard to improve the quality of life of those affected by ME/CFS by:
 
Providing information and support to people affected by ME/CFS. By providing easy access to the latest research and information our aim is to help those affected take better control of their illness and achieve the optimum health and quality of life possible.

Building recognition and understanding of ME/CFS as a serious, widespread and chronic health disorder. Our publicity, education and advocacy initiatives are targeted at building greater awareness and understanding of ME/CFS and its potential to devastate the lives of those it affects.
 
Improving health care providers’ abilities to accurately diagnose and treat ME/CFS. By encouraging wider use of the 2003 Canadian ME/CFS Clinical Guidelines we’re working with local health professionals to achieve better recognition, understanding and treatment of the disease.
 
Securing a meaningful response to ME/CFS from Government. Through ongoing engagement with State and Federal Governments we are striving for better and more credible services and care for those affected.
 
Stimulating and enabling high-quality biomedical ME/CFS research. Government and self-funded research have vital roles to play in unlocking better understanding of ME/CFS and it's treatment.
 
Enabling the ME/CFS community to speak with a collective voice. The voice of the consumer (those affected) is paramount in informing better understanding of the disease and the provision of effective services and care for those affected.
 
Fostering a sense of hope and community amongst those affected by ME/CFS and alleviating the isolation experienced by the most severely affected. We endeavor to ensure our services and activities are accessible to even the most severely affected.
