Programs & Research

Arthritis Australia advocates to government, business, industry and community leaders to improve care, management, support and quality of life for people with arthritis.

In addition to developing a consumer led, proactive policy and advocacy agenda, we participate in government consultations and prepare submissions to government agencies on a range of issues affecting people with arthritis.

Along with education and assistance, Arthritis Australia spearheads the effort to further our knowledge of arthritis and to search for cures.
