TREATMENT FACILITIES
The
Lymphoedema Association of Queensland Inc. is a registered charity founded in
1989 by people with the condition health professionals and concerned others. A
self help organization, it offers support, information and education to anyone
affected by Lymphoedema. With this in mind we have compiled this directory of
treatment facilities, resources and support groups to assist the
management of Lymphoedema.
If you
know of a service which you believe should be included or if you wish to update
information, please contact the Association. The assistance provided by the
Queensland Cancer Fund in producing this booklet is gratefully
acknowledged. We are in the process of updating the directory and it will be
available online again in early December.
