Living with arthritis during COVID-19

The CreakyJoints Australia team has been working hard to develop and circulate patient education, support, advocacy and research activities related to COVID-19 and chronic illness. As the COVID-19 situation here has developed differently to that in other countries, we’ve sourced the latest information from the Australian Government, the Australian Rheumatology Association and a selection of other official and reputable sources.

This page will be updated regularly, so we suggest you check back here regularly or subscribe to our free newsletter for further information.
