To improve the health and wellbeing of people living without a functioning spleen through education, clinical support, advocacy, and collaboration with healthcare professionals
Explore who we are, what we do, our history, research activities, strategic priorities and the partnerships that support the ongoing work of Spleen Australia.
We are currently funded to register people living in, or who have had treatment for their spleen condition in, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland and Western Australia. Once registered with our service, you will receive a telephone education session from a registered nurse. We send you education materials, and a personalised vaccine and antibiotic plan, which is also shared with your GP.
If you live in a state where Spleen Australia is not currently funded, we hope to secure funding in the future so that we can offer registration and support to you.
Updated medical recommendations are regularly reviewed, and any changes will be shared on this website and our social media channels.
