We want you to have support, information and resources to live your best life whilst managing lymphoedema. Welcome to Lymphoedema Association Australia (LAA). The Lymphoedema Association Australia is a national membership-based self-help organisation and offers support, information and education to anyone affected by lymphoedema. Founded in 2022 by people with lived experience of the condition and
health professionals, the LAA is a registered charity, with funds raised by membership fees, sponsorship, fundraising events, philanthropic trusts and tax-deductible donations. In forming the LAA, Lymphoedema Association of Queensland, Lymphoedema Support Group of NSW and Lymphoedema Association of Victoria, decided to close and merge their pages to become the Lymphoedema Association Australia Official page.
