One in seven Australians are living with arthritis – that’s more than 3.6 million people of all ages and walks of life, including younger and older adults, and children. Far too often, their pain and disability are trivialised and they miss out on the support and care that could make a real difference to their quality of life. People with arthritis are tired of being told to “just put up with it”.
From now until the Federal election on 21 May 2022, Arthritis Australia is running the #1in7withArthritis campaign to lobby federal parliamentarians for more support for people with arthritis. And we need your help!
Step one – email your local MP by using this tool:

Step two – spread the word on your socials, using the #1in7withArthritis
hashtag
