Researchers from Adelaide University are inviting adults living in Adelaide, South Australia with knee osteoarthritis (OA) to take part in a community-based peer mentorship program called OA Champions.
Peer mentorship involves personalised one-to-one support between two people with the same condition – one who has been trained to deliver the program (Mentor) and one who is seeking support and advice (Mentee). The OA Champions program includes up to 6 one-to-one peer mentorship sessions, delivered by a trained Mentor. Learn the latest evidence-based ways to manage knee OA and connect one-on-one with someone who truly understands what you’re going through. Best of all, the program was designed by people with knee OA – and participation is free!

You are eligible to participate if you:
- are 18 years of age or over
