Arthritis South Australia - Help and hope for those living with the impact of Arthritis

Welcome to Arthritis South Australia. We are a charitable organisation here to support you, whether you have arthritis and are in pain, have difficulty moving as well as you would like to, or if you want to help someone close to you who lives with arthritis.

Arthritis South Australia (Arthritis SA) is committed to improving the quality of life of people with arthritis and related conditions. They can be babies, because sadly even kids get arthritis too, through to the elderly. We are dedicated to reducing the social and economic burdens of arthritis. We do this by funding research, providing education and giving support. We also create awareness about arthritis and advocate on behalf of people with arthritis at all levels of government.

This website gives you information about some of the more common types of arthritis, provides information and tips to help you manage arthritis, showcases cutting edge research, offers details on courses that you can book into, ...and much more.

Arthritis South Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that relies upon both memberships and donations to fund its many activities. We hope you find the information here useful and we welcome feedback, a donation or recommendation.

Thank you!

Arthritis Infoline Consumer Satisfaction Survey

Arthritis SA is inviting consumers who have recently contacted the Arthritis Infoline to participate in a short, anonymous survey. The survey is designed to better understand your experience with the Infoline and how useful you found the information that was provided to you. Your feedback is important to us. It will help to ensure our services are effective and make improvements where needed. The survey should take approximately 3 minutes and can be accessed by clicking the link below.

The Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry is looking for consumer representatives to participate in a series of three one-hour workshops in the beginning of 2021. The aim of the workshops is to hear directly from patients with experience of joint replacement surgery, and get a better understanding of how best to present health information back to patients in a way that would be most useful for them. To enquire about the workshops or express your interest please contact Project Coordinator Marta Jasinska on (08) 8128 4301 or mjasinska@aoanjrr.org.au.
