Kidney Health Australia is the recognised voice for kidney disease in Australia, striving to reduce the incidence of the disease in the community, and saving and improving the lives of those who are affected.
For over 50 years, the peak body has connected kidney patients to vital resources and support programs to help them manage their condition, as well as advocating on their behalf for health initiatives that will improve their quality of life. Key programs include the Big Red Kidney Bus, Transplant House, Kids and Youth and the Kidney Helpline.
With 1.5 million Australians unaware they have the early signs of kidney disease, early detection continues to be a key driver for Kidney Health Australia, with a focus on awareness raising activities targeting those at risk, as well as educating the primary care sector on the earlier diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease.
Research into kidney disease also continues to be a key focus, with the organization working with the clinical and research community to support treatment improvements and innovations so that one day, every Australian can enjoy good kidney health.
