New items in the LAA online store.

You can purchase recordings of the great 2023 or 2024 Lymphoedema information days that have multiple expert speakers on a variety of helpful topics.

The presentations from the day are available for purchase as a complete package for $40 (including GST) for non-members, or $20 (including GST) for members.

Your purchase not only will help you learn how to look after your lymphoedema, it also helps the association of volunteers to cover costs. The mission is to help people ,and quality information is key.

Lymphoedema isn't like a chipped tooth, where we go to a dentist, they fix it and it's done.

It's our body and we live in it every moment , lymphoedema is aways present, doctors and therapists come and go and can help guide us , but the buck stops with us, it is up to us to learn how to look after our body. LAA provide experts for us to learn from.
