Arthritis Australia information sheets

Each information sheet was fully researched to ensure the most current, scientifically proven information was included. A group of experts, including rheumatologists, general practitioners, pharmacists, physiotherapists and practice nurses, reviewed each sheet to ensure the content was accurate and comprehensive. Importantly, each sheet was also reviewed by people with arthritis to make sure it was clear and easy to understand for people with different reading abilities and knowledge about arthritis.

The National Set of Arthritis Information Sheets project was conducted by Arthritis Victoria for Arthritis Australia. The Australian government provided funding to support this project.
