Lymphoma Australia (Australia)


Scope of organisation
Description
Lymphoma Australia is the only Australian charity dedicated solely to those impacted by Lymphoma and CLL. We assist patients to better understand their diagnosis and treatment options. We provide information and support packs to patients and hospitals and host education days and webinars to help people better understand Lymphoma. If you or a loved one has been touched by Lymphoma, you can call our National Lymphoma Nurse Support Line, join our closed Facebook group, attend an online or in-person support group, sign up for our e-news or request free resources to ensure you have the information you need.
Our essential services are managed by Lymphoma specialist nurses, who are dedicated to supporting patients navigate the lymphoma journey and provide connection to others.
