CreakyJoints Australia Patient Council
“The CreakyJoints Australia Patient Council and team embody the spirit of living well despite these conditions. ”
The CreakyJoints Australia Patient Council is a team of inspiring individuals from states and territories across Australia and New Zealand living with various forms of arthritis and drawn together by a common mission. Our mission is to empower Australians living with arthritis to put themselves at the centre of their own care by talking about their treatment preferences and working in partnership with their healthcare providers. CreakyJoints Australia connects arthritis patients with current and relevant disease-specific information and support, across a spectrum of arthritis conditions via digital media.
The Patient Council are in contact quarterly via conference calls and also meet annually at our Patient Council Summit along with representatives from our US-based parent organisation, CreakyJoints.
