Did You Know? More than 30% of Australians - adult and child, male and female - will be affected by arthritis or some form of musculoskeletal condition during their lives? It is the greatest cause of disability in Australia.

Sponsored in part by:

Arthritis Australia funds research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention of, as well as potential cures for, arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. This is funded by contributions from Arthritis Australia, state and territory affiliates, the Australian Rheumatology Association and community donations & bequests.

Year-long grants, scholarships and fellowships are offered to qualified applicants studying at, or employed by, accredited research institutions such as universities and hospitals.

Arthritis Australia will be allocating almost $1m for research programs being undertaken in 2009. This includes funding for the Florance and Cope Chair of Rheumatology at the University of Sydney.
