Yes I do know of those great organisations, and many more.Thanks.
No, no other LAA events planned for Melbourne as far as I know , as i explianed on reply to Zelda. Not enough volunteers. (Hence importance of getting as many peeps registered to the very rare live Sydney in person and /online event)
List of Lymphoedema Support groups, including an online zoom one, are on https://www.lymphaustralia.org.au/get-involved/support-groups-/
They have a calender of events https://www.lymphaustralia.org.au/events/calendar-of-events/
eg I have Sutherland /st george lymph group tommorow at Tradies Gymea.Our group does bi monthly , weekday afternoon because thats what suits us three regulars/coordinaters.
Some Previous LAA Lymphoedema Information Day multi speaker event recordings are available to buy in the online store. https://www.lymphaustralia.org.au/resources/online-shop/
There are several other members events which were recorded webinars, ( Feel good enabling patient self management,Myth busting, Orthopaedic surgery... ) , also newsletters and more, are all available in the LAA members section . Membership is only $40 per finacial year.Anyone can join. Consumers, carers, health professionals.
The more members - the more we can stand together and be counted and data/ numbers help a lot for advocacy with government bodies etc.

If i see any other new special Lymphie specific events that may be suitable for BCRL , i will pop them here as well as my socials .
ps Image as an example of LAA content, here is a screen shot from one of the 2024 presentations ,( which coincided with the ALA conference. )Cherly presented a heap of summaries from many research papers and was specific to 'at risk of lymphoedema ladies'. So was a little different to other content .
PSS ALERT annual March event is always a good one.
