Support in your state or territory
Living with arthritis feels easier when you have support close to home.
Arthritis Australia partners with affiliated arthritis organisations in each state and territory, so you can connect with local programs, services, and communities that understand your needs.
Why local support matters
Local organisations are familiar with the services, health systems, and communities in your area. They run classes and events in your community to support people living with arthritis.
Our affiliate partners also work with us to deliver national projects and share information resources through local communities.
Contact our affiliate partners for details about programs near you, or visit their websites to see what is coming up.
