We are an umbrella organization with chapters and representatives in all States and Territories in Australia. According to the experts, we have about 1000 people affected by SCD. Our vision is to reduce the impact of SCD on all Australians.
We provide a range of highly valued support services including comprehensive patient information as well as emotional and practical support. We facilitate vital peer to peer connections, co-ordinate a range of support groups nationally and advocate for those affected by SCD on issues such as access to treatments and improved patient services.
