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.
