Awareness Month

June is for Lipoedema Awareness

Every June sees the board of Lipoedema Australia campaign heavily for lipoedema awareness in the health and wider communities. From social media, community activities, awareness lunches, forums and even having landmarks lit up in purple, you’ll see us working hard to spread the word about lipoedema.

Please help us by sharing as much as you can, engaging within your own networks about lipoedema, asking your medical centre if they would be open to having a presentation about lipoedema, doing some fundraising… anything that helps to bring lipoedema into the spotlight!
