ME/CFS Australia is the peak body for the patient-led, volunteer-run ME/CFS charities across Australia.
Our focus is federal, aiming to improve access and inclusion for people with ME/CFS in health care, disability services, welfare, and other national services. As a peak body we facilitate collaboration amongst our member organisations.
Together we seek to:
- assist clinicians, journalists, politicians, educators, service providers and others to find reputable, current information on ME/CFS
- work with research teams to further understanding of the illness and the impact on those who have ME/CFS
- improve public awareness
- support people with ME/CFS and those who care for them
Incorporated in 1999, ME/CFS Australia Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation, a registered charity with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status.
